I'm 26 and also have a stutter. If there's one thing I've learned dealing with my stutter, it's this. DON'T LET YOUR STUTTER/FEAR OF STUTTERING DEFINE WHAT YOU DO/CAN DO/WANT TO DO IN LIFE Not cari...

Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s had a ‘positive’ impact on my life either, it’s just kinda a part of my life. Most likely I’m thinking WAY too deep into it but I don’t know, it makes me feel better lol...
