Getting less ashamed of my stutter as I get older
Content
Getting less ashamed of my stutter as I get older I notice as I get older I'm starting to carr less about stuttering in front of people. In high school I would think it was the worst thing in the world if I stuttered in front of someone. There is stick definitely situations where I'm scared to talk or avoid talking, but in general my attitude is more "it's not embarrassing to stutter because having a disability is not embarrassing". I realize now that people will accept me if they want to and trying to fake fluency will only attract fake friends.
