Recently, I am quite open with my stuttering. When I go out to exercise or to tak Amy to playground, I often find chances to talk with a variety of people. I usually honestly tell them that I am a person who stutters. Usually, I got very nice and positive responses.
One response is very striking. "We all have problems. all sorts of problems. You have speech impedimant, somebody may have health probem, temper, personality, etc. etc. ". I have heard this kind of response at least 5 times from different people, black or white, man or woman. Some of them are very poor, struggle with their life. I was shocked with their wit, altitude of life.
I should keep telling myself that the stuttering is not a big deal. I have much more than my stuttering. The only problem now is to find a permant job, it is somewhat hindered by the stuttering phenomena. The bad, also good thing is that stuttering is obvious. I know what the problem is. I have taken the effort to improve it. I will succeed.
