All my life I have felt dumb and stupid about myself because of my stutter. Just now am I trying to accept it. Because it’s obvious my stutter isn’t going to go away. I’m glad this is a new ‘trend’ around Reddit that they are accepting, because it means they are proud of themselves. I’ve been in speech therapy ever since I was two, almost my entire life. To me, not speaking for everyone, nothing worked. I’m practicing good mental health and acceptance. It’s ok to be autistic, ok to have a lisp, ok to be dyslexic, ok to have a missing limb, why isn’t it ok to stutter?. It isn’t us giving up, it’s us shedding into a new, stronger person.
