I am new to this sub, but here are my 2 cents. I am 28. I was laughed at at school, i had sooo much worry to speak in class, but I remember myself being somewhat different from now. I was powerless and couldnt have control. Now I truly dont care at what happened, because all people from class have changed, noone remembers, and its just a friction of a moment in life. Also, we were kids. And adults who laugh at stutter are insecure pricks. I remember a guy ( he was a rapper who stutters) on a podcast said its like unique thing, as long as you are confident noone will care. Like height, or weight. You are the sole judge and you reflect it on others. Also, clubs are great place to practice speaking loudly, confidently and if you stutter you can blame it on the music she didnt hear. Practice body language, eye contact, playfulness. All those things dont need much talk. To be fair I have been thinking it sucks that I cannot express how smart and pronounce things the right way. BUT you can vibe with people, be positive, open minded and if you dont care about stuttering, it might fade away slowly. What you resist - persists.
