The best thing that's helped me socially.

The best thing that's helped me socially. I see a lot of posts here about people really struggling socially and I know it's really hard for people but I just wanted to give my opinion on what's helped me the most in life. Trying to "fix" my stutter so far in my life hasnt achieved anything. Eventually I just admitted the fact it's with me for life. I have good and bad periods but it's never going away. Looking back at my childhood I think I've had it relatively easy compared to some stories on here but the biggest change in my life came when I decided to just never be ashamed or try to cover for my stutter. As soon people realise I'm OK with my stutter they are OK. I think most people that react badly to a stutter are reacting off how I react to it. I still get beat down by it from time to time, my wife doesn't understand how I can speak to her almost fine but I can't get a word out at the drive through speaker box and usually just walk in or get shitty about having to talk to people on the phone. But mostly I'm fine. I guess the point is work on being OK with stuttering around other people and eventually you will be and you'll find 99% of people are too. This might be a bit rambly sorry about that haha
