commentr/StutterJanuary 12, 2025

Content

This thread is wild. The fact that there are tons of people who used to stutter and no longer stutter seems to be proof that stuttering can be cured in principle. But the causes seem to be very multivariate and unique to each individual that it can be very difficult (maybe effectively “impossible”) to “cure” everybody/find a single “solution”. But I also think two things can be true at the same time: you can accept your stutter/have compassion for yourself and be your own cheerleader while also being unwilling to be passive and settle for acceptance. The two positions aren’t mutually exclusive imo. I myself am committed to “slip the surely chains”.
