I wish that was the case for me, but I'm in my 30s, and it hasn't really gotten easier yet. I'm glad that's the case for you, and many others, though!...

Totally agree. I suffered, and still suffer, from the negative effects of 30+ years of stuttering. If there's something I can pass on it's the 'getting over it' phase. Are you gonna get over it in...

Yes. And... Some people are more biologically wired to feel/notice/believe they are being ridiculed, making your very true advice a very difficult process. and the temporary failures to “let it go...

How were you able to decide to be okay with it? It sounds almost like a pro/con list here, but I’m curious if weighing the costs and benefits is what changed your mind....
