Pitying Yourself is Not Going to Work I know how it feels to compare yourself to people who are completely fluent. I know it's easy to feel sorry for yourself, and feel like you aren't going to reach your full potential. But, you need to realize how much of your sorrow leads back to the fear of how people will view you. If everyone in the world had a stutter, would you feel anxious if you started stuttering during a presentation? Exactly. You view yourself as different, misunderstood, and unable to do a basic human skill. How you view yourself directly starts spilling onto other people. People can sense when you aren't confident, and they'll view you the same way you view yourself. To the people reading this, own it. Own your stutter. Start telling people you stutter or stutter sometimes. Step 1 is to not feel embarrassed by it. The pressure you give yourself to be fluent, is what makes you stutter more. How horrible would it be to waste the only life you have, worrying about how others view you. You have so much potential, no matter how you speak.
