For me it was meeting a fellow stutterer who just didn't give a damn that she stuttered. She said what she wanted, maintained good eye contact even if she was blocking, and just really kicked ass in ...

No no bro ! Just believe in yourself and own your stutter . proud of it 😂😂 ....

I’m whatever about it. I used to demand that nobody ever finish my sentences, but now I just focus on connection and staying confident and I don’t really care what people do or how they react. I can’t...

>Your choices, given the treatment options, are to: - Decide not to carry on >Or >- Carry on doing the best you can with the hand you've been dealt >... the best, happiest, least depressing option ...

I agree but how can we tame these parts of ourselves by saying it's fine and you don't have to be on high alert all the time? 🫠...

Interesting post 🧐. You don’t have to accept anything. People probably only say it so you feel better about yourself. Where do you want to be emotionally with your stutter?...

I understand. I’ve been assessed before and told I’m at a 37% fluency, and for most of my life I’ve oscillated between radical acceptance and pits of despair because I know I have to deal with my stut...

You’re obviously in a lot of pain and everyone in this forum has been there. We’re with you. But it’s important to remember that no one is saying you can just go out there, decide not to care, and the...

I would give up anything to speak fluently tbh. But… there is no magic pill. Stoicism is the way for me.....

A stuttering-focused speech therapist AND acceptance did it for me. Have you tried speech therapy?...

I used to feel quite similarly, and realized that “acceptance” *does not* mean what you think it means. If you have a few minutes, this post will explain more....

Be realistic. What are your options? Don’t speak, feel shit and socially anxious? Or feel shit because you spoke and had a severe block ? I mean you are going to feel shit either way. But the second o...

I understand what you’re feeling and I’ve had the same thoughts before. I’m a severe stutterer and all I’ve ever wanted to do is be able to accept it. I still can’t. But I’m closer to being able to a...

I understand where you're coming from, and your feelings are valid. I've wondered what "acceptance" means for quite a while with regards to my stutter. Is it just not caring? Is it constantly picking ...

It feels bad to tell you but you were not born to be happy, like most of us, the sooner you accept it the better. appreciate the people who love you and accept your stuttering to live moments that mor...

Then what else are you going to do? Sit there and cry? Nobody can help you besides yourself. There's no cure, no magic pill, no nothing. Acceptance is the only way to retain some modicum of happiness...

I worked on mindfulness for years and finally I adopted a kind of mental relaxation. It’s hard to explain… “acceptance” is a word that’s been used, but that’s just a word. It was a change in mindset t...

Completely and wholeheartedly agree. The day I found peace was accepting that my stutter was outside of my control and therapy would not help me become more fluent. I still stutter. I just don’t care ...

I have fight many times against accepting stuttering, it is stupid, accepting can be the small part in the treatment use as desensitization, not like "accept the stuttering and don't do anything else"...

Think of it like having a family member pass away. To tell somebody to accept the fact that their parent had recently died would be absurd. But it's not healthy or productive whatsoever to continue to...
