I know there is no easy solution. I've been suffering for years. But what do you want me to say? That we're just fucked up forever and there's nothing we can do about it! That you just have to "hang on" until someone develops a cure for stuttering. That you just have to embrace it and get used to the fact that you stutter. Other people have managed to overcome this. You can just sit and wait and keep ranting about it, which does absolutely nothing good for you, while others are *actually* trying to overcome it, by at least being positive about it. And yes, it's good that we can share our experiences with each other here, but most of these experiences are discouraging (if that's the right word), because we keep hearing about how we can fuck up. Imagine instead if what you mostly read is how you can talk easily and fluently. I bet you'd feel less obnoxious about your stutter. You'd probably feel more encouraged to go out and talk with people because of all the success stories you read on here.
