OP, I want to echo what Violet says. I’m 35, moderate to severe stutter depending on the day and concoction of anxieties I have coursing through my veins. Senior software engineer leading a team of other engineers. This stutter is just part of my day-to-day struggle. I don’t love it. I just had to record a zoom session of a teaching experience for my new engineers. I stuttered a lot. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable watching that recording of myself. But it’s out there and people will watch it and I’m okay with that. But! Learn ASL anyways! I’ve always wanted to do this. For the 1% of people you meet in your life who speak ASL, this will be a major boon to your communication and just a cool way to connect to people. Do it, have fun with it, maybe in a roundabout way you’ll find that it actually helps your fluency when you can direct your attention to hand motions instead of your voice. but embrace the stutter. It’s part of you and the sooner you learn to love it (I know that sounds like bullshit but seriously) the sooner you can live your life the way you know you want and can.
