stuttering has ruined my life.?

Dont worry about the stutter. I have seen very high level functioning people(managers, doctors, scientists) with extremely bad stutter. I feel they are a real inspiration, as despite the severe stutter they are very successful and don't let the stutter stop them. I remember once going to a oral presentation ceremony and the winning talk was given by a gentleman with quite a severe stutter. Despite this he presented using excellent slides and short sentences. He won the award for the best presentation as we were all bowled over by what he presented. His was easily the best presentation of the day. So dont let it set you back. Most people understand what you are going through and want to help but are too worried to mention the stutter. I wish you the best of luck. dont let the stutter set you bak.
