My attitude about my stuttering is changing a lot these days. I've started blogging about it (helloistutter.com!) and have been talking to way more people who stutter. The biggest thing is overcoming the fear -- of how people will react to it. At least for me, out of 100 interactions, I've had say, less than 5 negative reactions. So it's all in my mind. I'm trying to get out there (on my own terms) and prove to my silly brain that the world won't end if I stutter. That the listener (if I'm trying a foreign language) will care if I mis-conjugate a verb. My attitude is that things can only keep going up. My confidence will keep on building. I will continue to dismiss the fools and prepare enough so that I'll get the respect I deserve. You should definitely take advantage of how stuttering has made you a stronger person.
