I had a very severe stutter when I took an intensive speech therapy program in my mid twenties. A major portion of the program focused on desensitizing you to stuttering. On day one we were walking around NYC with clipboards asking random strangers questions about stuttering. To this day it is still the hardest thing I have ever done. The thing I learned from this is that almost everybody couldn’t care less about me stuttering - it just genuinely wasn’t a big deal to them. No one judged, no one laughed no one threatened me. I’m in my early 40’s now and I still stutter, sometimes quite badly, it’s just that I no longer care that I do. When meeting new people at work my default line has become “And just so you know, I do stutter, so if you don’t understand anything I say, please don’t hesitate to ask me to repeat myself”. And the amount of positive feedback I have gotten from that is amazing. You’re young. Attitudes change, perceptions change. The world is not like high school. Find a way to get into speech therapy. Check the NSA for reputable therapists. And hang in there, I promise it gets better. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions or just want to talk.
