One significant shift is the effortless selection of words during conversations. Unlike before, I no longer find myself dedicating time to strategically choose words to sidestep potential stutters. Instead, words now flow naturally and gradually giving me less stress during any conversation. I gained confidence. However confidence is attained it is not like one day you became all confident .It's a gradual process, a series of small victories that accumulate over time. . Although Stuttering doesn't necessarily erode confidence. Instead, the key lies in accepting oneself, irrespective of speech patterns. I think **confidence is a separate entity from the presence or absence of a stutter**; one can exude confidence even while experiencing moments of stammering. Earlier whenever i spoke people facial expressions often conveyed confusion or difficulty in understanding. but now they have a plain normal face just like a normal conversation. The most important thing for me is to express myself clearly since I can now use proper and correct words without resorting to substitutions giving more clarity to me explanation , again its not like I speak very fluently in difficult words buts i am ok with current fluency it doesn't really matter ​ One thing that surprised me , my school friends who knew my severe stammer didn't care about my speech. when I talk to them after my improvement they didn't even care to notice it . Only when I reminded them about my stammer they suddenly realized "wow i am speaking fluently". So I guess people get accustomed to your way of speaking and they don't care about your speech impediment after they get to know you. **They focusing more on the content of communication rather than the speech pattern**. ( Btw all of them teased me a lot during my school days but I won't call it bully since they never crossed the line except for one .I ignore him now) My conclusion is Overcoming stuttering might not bring about a drastic transformation in life, but the real game-changer is cultivating confidence in oneself. It's the confidence that matters the most whether you stutter or not.
