Staying real to Self vs Staying Positive I am 24m Stuttering since childhood and struggling with it everyday recently i have been through very rough time i can't get a job because i get rejected in interviews because of stuttering and i have been thinking lately about being positive and also i have thought about positive thinking a lot in years bitt thinking positive dosent works anyways what works is just finding what works for you and applying that, also positive feeling in the sense keans suppressing negative emotions that come with Stuttering and i would never recommend suppressing negative emotions, you have to feel every emotion completly as it comes to you, Also positive thinking in the sense means ignoring all the negativity and saying i am good i am ok,i don't want to do that, i want to be in touch with realty, Stutterers and many people who are depressed or sad/upset are just realistically reacting to very bad state/time a bad patch in their life and to ignore that not feeling negative emotions ignoring your current state and learning and getting motivated from that is much better than just positively thinking i am fine, i am good,i am ok that just don't work for me it means you are not in touch with reality I think we have every right to feel whatever emotions we want negative and positive are just words , you should feel every emotions negative or positive and just hope that you are on the right path to find fluency and in doing that you may say i am struggling right now and i changing my perspective abot things i am changing myself but in doing that it will take take and till then i will still stutter and its ok because it takes strength and courage to get out of that mentality, Stuttering in my opinion is highly pyscological and you have to go throught a lot try and experiment a lot about what works for you and what doesn't, it will take time and you have to accept,Accept Stuttering means living with it everyday and not trying to get depressed and obsessed about it everyday and still hoping to get better.
