The great thing about getting older is that I stopped giving a shit what people think of me. I would disclose my stutter if I felt I was going to have a hard time and people were so kind and accepting. I just began talking more and more. The people who have a problem with it, that’s their problem not mine, but no one had a problem with it. Stuttering has nothing to do with your intelligence. Stop resisting it and learn some techniques that can help. There are things you can do to make your speech smoother and easier but accepting it is the most important and then you can work on it.
