Thank you for sharing. I really connected with what you said about learning to handle more intense moments of stuttering as you’ve gotten older. I’ve experienced something similar—my mindset has definitely evolved. Speaking is still one of my biggest fears, but I’ve learned to do everything despite the fear. I’m genuinely proud of how far I’ve come. I haven’t let my stutter take away my joy or limit my opportunities. I’ve accepted that this is how I speak. People will respond in their own way—but the real growth has come from how I choose to respond to them. That shift has helped me build resilience and emotional intelligence, and it’s something I carry with me every day.
