I'm 26(M) and didn't start looking at my stutter positively until I was...about 23 and I'm annoyed I didn't start sooner but it's amazing the amount of pressure is lifted when you honestly stop giving a shit about your stutter! Getting involved in the FB Stuttering Community group has really helped (didn't know anymore local who stuttered) and I've since gotten involved in the National Stuttering Association and am attending my 2nd conference this July in Chicago! A guy I met at the 2016 Conference on Atlanta moved to my area and we started a local Chapter and it's been amazing being involved in the Stuttering Community. Also your username is hilarious!
