My great uncle had a stutter when he was young, and he got over it in his 20s. Became a successful business owner, had a wife and kids, and is living out his older years sailing on his boat in Florida. So that gives me a lot of courage to kick my stutter as well. Honestly it’s about perseverance and confidence, working on it everyday and putting yourself into uncomfortable situations as much as you can. That’s how you grow as a person in general but also how you can become more and more fluent. I see a lot of people in this group who claim defeat and label their stutter as a “disability”. I think that’s a complete wrong way to look at it. If you dedicate the time and energy into not letting it hold you back and really working on methods to get through the tough words you can’t say you will achieve so much more than you originally thought possible. I still face countless awkward social situations but I power through it and do not let that define me in any way. So anyone on here, keep pushing on, let the suffering of it all make you a better and kinder person. You’ll get through it. 😉
