The secret is to not overthink about it, don't let it control your life and define who you are, every time you feel afraid of doing something or going somewhere because of stuttering, tell yourself that you're greater than your problem and that you - and only you - control your life. It seems rather simple, but it's not, I still struggle with it daily, but changing the way I look at this gave me enough strength to try something different, be someone I truly want to be. For instance, I started at the gym two years ago, something I never thought I would have the courage to do, I also did a test for a job with the police this year and... I was accepted! I'll start at the academy beginning of the next year. Am I afraid? Of course I am, I'm terrified actually, it's a job where I WILL have to use my voice and communicate A LOT, but I can't just throw away years of studing and training just for the sake of it, if I lose now, the stuttering will control my life forever and I can't and won't let that happen, I own it - and not the contrary. It can seem like those things are nothing, someone "normal" would just think "lol you go to the gym and are going to be a detective, so what? Chill out dude", but small victories like these means a lot to me and they show that I can achieve everything I want and that nothing can stop me from dreaming about it. So, what I'm saying is, don't be afraid of trying something you would really like to do just because of what you *think* will happen, go out there and be your best version. Will it be easy? Hell no. Will you just magically stop stuttering? Nop, that won't happen either. But that's the beauty of it, our life was made more challenging because we have this "problem", no, don't think about it as a problem, but as a "superpower", if you learn to control it and conquer it even against all odds, then nothing in life will ever scare you again, ever. Anyway, I wish you good fortune on your battles to come, the most important of which isn't against your stutter, but against your own mind, yourself.
