Thank you for answering my question! I have heard this advice to "stutter with confidence" before. And doing things like voluntarily stuttering. I'm still on that personal journey of accepting this side of me. It's really the frustration and effort it takes to talk that's still hard to accept. I've long stopped caring about how others view me. For me it's the inability to start or get though the things I wanted to say in a conversation. How have you come to terms with speaking being like trying to do one hand pushups for the first time?
