I have no stuttering friends. I stutter and my friends accept it. I don’t know anyone else who stuffers. It used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore. I’m in my 30s. Advice I received from a therapist was to focus on making yourself happy and not focusing on your speech so much. Don’t let it get you down. I’m sure there are many other wonderful things about you. Focus on those. I’ve stuttered all my life. The best thing you can do is realize that you only have one life in this world. You should appreciate what you do have and try to focus on what you can give to people. Stutters*
