Never give up Personally I wanted to come on here to share how I managed to improve my stutter and see it as a strength rather than a hindrance. Little back story on me I’m currently 19 and I’m an online content creator and as long as I can remember I got my stutter whenever I was 8 and had it since then. I can go more in detail on this if yall want, but here’s some things that helped me improve it to a point where I can speak without barely stuttering at all. 1. Talking to strangers - When i was 17 and I just graduated high school I had to get a job since I decided not to go to school and pursue my dreams and at the time my stutter was the worst it’s ever been, I couldn’t pronounce my name, say 1 or more words without stutter it was terrible. So i ended up working at a local grocery store primarily to work on my speaking and it’s helped me go much get outside my comfort zone. At first it was so painful and one day I even cried in front of people and felt so miserable but I kept pushing and it payed off huge dividends 2. Reading self help books - One book thats forever changed my life is think and grow rich, there was this one story in that book on how the author’s son was born a deaf mute and how he didn’t want him to get any special treatment and wanted him to live a normal life, so he kept putting faith and belief in his son and after some years his son was finally able to speak and hear like a normal person and that story alone has helped me so much believe that I can also speak with no limitations and its helped me so much, along with SO MANY other gems that book has, A MUST READ. 3. Journaling - At first it was very painful coming home and writing down how my days went, but journaling gave me hope that I can speak normally and there’s no limitations in my mind. Also little side note, my stutter has helped me grow so much to where I have no regrets of having it because it’s pushed me to where I am today so I am very grateful for it and if you are reading this and you are where when I started just know that what you see as a flaw is your greatest strength I had the random idea of just telling my story on here, so if you want me to go more in detail or have any questions then let me know, not being able to express yourself through speaking is one of the worst feelings ever. Have a wonderful rest of your day everyone :)
