I think what slowly changed for me was realizing that what made this thing that I️ called my stutter so bad was how I️ was reacting to it. The stutter was always there and will always be there. I️ can’t change that other than hide it. But I️ can change how I️ react to it, let it limit me, etc. I️ can change the way I️ stutter even though I️ can’t change the fact that I stutter... if that makes sense. Acceptance started after that.
