It’s not easy, but in the end you’re right. Our attitudes shape our lives. Most of the time when people respond negatively to our stuttering, it’s not the stuttering itself but the attitude of shame and embarrassment. When you feel shame, other people can sense it as a negative, heavy force. Stutter with a smile, refuse to be humiliated. You don’t have to accept what the world gives you. You can make your world something different. There will be always be hard times, this isn’t like a golden ticket that will make it all better — but it definitely helps.
