A combination of fake it till u make it, and realizing that no one is going to give u space to speak u need to TAKE it. Everyones voice has value and deserves to be heard, therefore so does mine. Mostly i just ignore it. Bc this is my normal, the more u stop thinking about it, the better it becomes. But i will always have it - so ur gonna deal with it too Also viewing my stutter as a superpower (ik i hate cliches too). Like a built-in social pre-screener. Like all the ableist and superficial assholes are gonna clear out when I talk. So now I know you suck, glad u didnt waste my time, thanks for doing my job for me. But look at all of the people still listening… looks like it was a you problem buddy Its hard but its been a lifetime of self-work. You gotta find value in yourself before the world treats u like it
