Once again, your response means so much to me and really hits home. I see what you’re saying. It’s also a self-acceptance thing. I feel like my stutter stems from anxiety but also from my lack of self confidence. I feel like after avoiding it for so long- I’m finally at the point where I am coming to terms with this. It’s who I am, I’ll never be perfect. It’s just the hand we were dealt , and now I have to figure out my next move.
