Read this There’s stuff that helps. There’s stuff that doesn’t help. There’s stuff that helps more so than other methods. Nothing can instantly “fix” you or grant you eternal happiness. Life is a mix of joy and pain. Anyways, what just helped me immensely was going to Walmart and walking up to random people and employees and stuttering on purpose. Asking random questions. Saying random things. Most people were supportive. Some laughed. But after EVERY interaction, I was completely unscathed. That’s the beautiful thing. If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time worrying about stuttering and trying not to stutter, that it really truly helps to occasionally get out there and stutter like a motherfucker to random people just to remind yourself that no one gives a fuck about you. In a good way. That’s all. Leave your thoughts if you want.
