Thanks for the positive vibes brother!. And yeah I've become a little more self accepting, caring less & go after what I want more in my late 20s early 30s. But part of my problem is pride maybe. ...

As for me, female here, I don't attend family gatherings because of fear of ridicule. I enjoy being alone, and i don't care if people see me as anti social. To each his own. 🙂👍🏼...

It is common. And you may describe yourself by saying you're a "stutterer" or any way you like. I personally tell people that I have a stutter rather than that I am a stutterer....

Absolutely. Admittedly, my wording in my first comment may seem a bit rude, though that was not the intention. In my second comment, I added that I myself like to use "person with stutter." That's how...

By saying you're a stutterer implies that your stutter as a whole is what you are. I like to rather say that we are people/persons who happen to stutter but that it doesn't define us....

I feel the same way. If I didn’t stutter, I’d be a phenomenal leader. But we can still achieve that dream. Living life on hard mode doesn’t mean we can’t succeed!...
