Old guy here looking back over 60 years of stuttering, hopefully with some perspective you may find helpful. One unobvious truth about my stutter is that the less I care about it, the less of a problem it is. The Buddhists say that the moment you stop desiring something, there it is, right in front of you, for the taking. The more I've developed an IDGAF attitude about my stutter, the less of a thing it is. Do I stutter less when I DGAF? Maybe. But I don't know. Because IDGAF. When I DGAF I'm much less focused on \*how\* I'm going to say that next thing, and therefore I'm able to focus on what the other person is actually saying. I'm able to be more present. I'm not knocking therapy. Different therapies work for different people. And I've used various techniques my whole adult life to get things going, things like slow onset and intentional easy stutter on difficult words. Your results will vary. But in my 60 years I've found perhaps the most effective way to treat my stutter is to stop GAF about it, and to just push through, to say what I've gotta say as best I can. 99.999% of listeners are going to give you the benefit of the doubt (is he mental? is he stupid? a psycho killer? is he f\*cking with me?) and let you finish. Some may finish your sentences but nearly all of them mean well. When someone finishes my sentence or even mocks me a little I apologize and let them know that I stutter and they almost always contract into embarrassment and apology. The other 0.001% of people in your life who will actively knowingly mock your stutter are actually doing you a big favor by self-identifying as major assholes. "Thank you and fuck you very much. You are now outside of my life, outside of the wall." Everyone else will wait and not judge you for it after getting to know you. When folks who know you say "I don't even notice it" they probably mean it. Hang in there bud. I got married, had four children, have started businesses, have had much success in my life. The stutter shouldn't hold you back.
