Consider this definition of acceptance: Acceptance: to willingly choose to allow the existence of stuttering without interference Are you truly letting yourself be in the stuttering moment? Do you kick yourself for a few blocks after a conversation? Do you say exactly what you want to say at all times, or does fear creep in? This is cliche, but you can get what you want. You have predetermined that you already can't. My stuttering buddy summed up his plight well: "i was afraid to fail" I am 40 years old now. I won't waste your time with the details here but as you live more life you encounter more and more situations and trauma; literally life and death ones. I cant speak for everyone, but when I experience these, the stuttering becomes smaller. >How am I supposed to achieve what I want with my stutter if I can’t talk or get past a block I know people with prominent stutters in very "talk heavy" positions. Lawyers etc. I used to have the mentatility, "oh well are they arent as severe as me". Maybe they were but I was too thick to realize that. My suggestion to you is to face these blocks. I dont care if youre in the block for 2 minutes. And yes it will feel real shitty afterwards. Maybe you go into a depression for a week or so. I did. But.you can no longer let your stuttering control you. It's a recipe for disaster. Take risks, believe in yourself. It gets easier. You will have shorter blocks. You will have less blocks.
