the final answer is generally, you will learn to deal with it, whether or not your method is the same as others. it's the only option besides suicide and to be frank, most people who are suicidal don't actually want to kill themselves. also, ever try saying the same sentence at the exact same time and cadence as someone else? for me it makes me PRETTY MUCH 100% fluent. what's even cooler is that there are apps designed to do this, not for this exact purpose but the result is the same (there's also stuttering hearing aids but I've heard they don't work very well for the amount of money they cost). I'd definitely try it just for fun, kind of helps you not lose hope, as for everything else, idk man stuttering has caused so many issues in my life that I can't really tell you what else to think, not that I would anyway, but I'm just emphasizing I see where you're coming from. also there's a lot of sentiment in this reddit that, "you should be proud of your stutter," or something along those lines, and the way people say it generally makes it seem like they're telling people to just be happy with the stutter, which I can understand as a mindset for some people, but being content with a stutter and also NOT wanting to have it in the first place and hating it because of that are two sides of the same coin--I think people say to learn to love your stutter as a coping mechanism honestly. I HATE IT. I hate it with literally my entire body and mind. If there was one single genie wish that I could use, I literally wouldn't use it on anything else besides stuttering, I think--and that's okay. ITS OKAY TO HATE IT, but you still have to learn to live beside it, for most it never leaves and the fact that people in this age still don't understand it (not the mechanism behind stuttering, but the concept of it) truly baffles me, and I think is the main problem
