With this knowledge tho comes so much insight to how we can improve our stutter. The best thing I ever did for my speech, was start doing exercises and challenges the proved to my brain that other people's judgements mean shit all. By desensitizing myself to the judgements of others I became carefree and in that same mindset of. "It doesn't matter if they like me." Etc. There's so much gold in learning to care less about what other think. Have you ever purposely exposed yourself to judgements or rejections from others ?
