So dope to hear! As a 19 year old myself who has overcome their stutter as well- that is so sick to hear. A good break from all the negative posts where people just can’t get enough of playing the victim card... To anybody seeing this. What you just read above is taking action in its raw. It’s pushing yourself into the most uncomfortable situations you can think of, and sitting in it; exposing yourself to what you fear. Soon enough though, you’ll learn that your fears are so much smaller than what you believe them to be. This is how you overcome your stutter, plain, and simple. Speech techniques you might ask? Sure, they might work for some, but at the end of the day you have to be yourself, you have to be authentic, or you’ll stay pitying yourself until you change.
