The solution is to first understand what stuttering is. And being able to distinguish the shit talk from real talk. Curing stutter is a long journey that cannot be walked into alone.. We need each other to succeed. Imagine a stutterer who had been conforming to his/her stutter just to hide it for more than 10 years! How can you simply say: “Oh, now you don’t stop when you speak! That’s great!”. Well, what about all those missed social situations I could save? What about all those dreams that died because I didn’t want to show my stutter? (Say, I wanted to be the president of US, but forgot it cause I thought my stutter would f me up). What about all those connections I couldn’t make due to having stutter? What about all those crazy mindsets I covered my head with? Will their aftermath be fixed on their own?! HELL NAW. We need to address these mind problems and fixing them in a small semi-society of people with the same problem and people who don’t stutter. Only you or others could ever understand how messed up my mindset is by seeing what bad attitudes I have. If I am constantly angry, how can I self-treat myself? I obviously need an outside support as well. The hard part about treating stutter is that the patient (us stutterers) are so resistant to change. If I tell you that you are wrong about how you think of other people, you will not just accept my opinion. And there are tons of these corrupted mindsets that differs in each person. If I tell you that, let’s just say, you try to be talkative only because you want to prove yourself that you don’t have stutter, you will likely immediately guard yourself and get offended! Because it’s hard to accept. Accepting the fact that you have stutter is one of the hardest things in the world I’d say :))) How many of us had actually confessed that we have stutter in a large new group of people so casually? Most of us had just either tried to escape stuttering, or stuttered so much in front of them, or simply avoided being in that situation. In order to define stutter, one has to first have enough information and knowledge about its root cause. Blaming genes is like saying “f you” to the problem and just denying that it is a mindset problem. If it was genetics, who was the first stutterer? Shouldn’t we pay our respect to the poor person? lol
