It's not uncommon to feel that way, as hearing others stutter might remind you of your own struggles and insecurities. It's important to recognize and address these feelings, as they can offer valuable insights into your own self-perception and relationship with your stutter. To help you better understand and cope with your stutter, as well as connect with others who share similar experiences, I wanted to let you know that I have started a Slack-based stuttering community for professionals who stutter. This community is completely free and aims to provide a supportive environment for discussing stuttering, sharing personal experiences, and learning from one another. Feel free to join here if interested - [https://airtable.com/shrXpS5KAEi0I9Pg0](https://airtable.com/shrXpS5KAEi0I9Pg0) By engaging with others who stutter and discussing your feelings openly, you may find it easier to accept your own stutter and feel more comfortable around others who stutter as well. Building connections with people who understand your journey can be an invaluable source of support and encouragement.
