stuttering is not your fault! This post is for anyone who needs some stutter-positive affirmations…. (If you’re not in a space for stutter-positive content, that’s totally fine! You don’t have to be!) Stuttering is not your fault, it was random chance that you were born with it, it could have happened to anyone. You’re not responsible for fixing it. It’s not anyone else’s business. It’s just as valid as any other way of talking. What you say with a stutter is not less important than what you say fluently. You own your voice. What other people think, or how they react, is simply irrelevant to your life. It’s probably best to give up on hiding your stutter. The people in your life probably know that you stutter, and they don’t really care. It’s not their problem, why would they care that much? They’re wrapped up in their own problems. So stop trying to hide it, stop trying to put on a performance of being fluent. Trying to hide it just adds more tension and anxiety, which intensifies stuttering. People often find that if they accept their stutter and give up trying to fix it, or trying to hide it, and adopt a relaxed and positive and accepting attitude towards it, stuttering actually decreases.
