Catch is you need to accept it. Like say what's worst that gonna happen? People will laugh? let them. People will judge? let them. In the end you need to build such a personality that they come to you begging. They come to your feet. Make yourself worthy like in your career, in being kind to others. Being kind and worthy is the key here! Being silent is not awkward. That is where most of stutterers (I think) suffer most. Smile and be silent. When you are expected to speak then use some tips to speak like speaking slow. ( What helps me is to speak in sine wave manner. Imagine a sine wave. I start, gets extremely slow in between then catch my pace again \[WHEN MY BRAIN TELLS ME YES YOU CAN SPEAK\] ) These are all tips, in the end I do stutter. I do feel miserable sometimes. I do feel bad. I do feel stuck. But look at others. Many people cant walk. Many people cant see. Everyone has their own problems. <RELIGIOUS GUIDELINES BELOW> The thing that most helped me is my religion, Islam. I live my life by some guidelines (Feel free to skip the paragraph below if you are not religious) \* This world is where we are tested. \* This world is temporary and is bound to an end. Real life begins after we die. \* We can't have more than what is already written for us by God. \* God knows better what is better for us (we might not be able to see bigger picture but He does) \* Since He gave me stutter, He is the one who can cure it, if He doesn't that's okay because once again He knows better and I submit to Him (This give me peace) \* Sometimes we fear if we lose job, wife etc due to this issue. My religion has taught me that whatever will happen will happen, no one can stop it. So why worry? Trust God, Trust the process. \* I ask Him to make me go through this, make it easy and Thanks to God, I can handle it. These are such a golden guidelines that makes every problem tiny in my eyes.
