Coming back to this post and looking back on the sub’s last few posts and seeing what gets downvoted vs upvoted has made me realize that at least for now, most people here (or at least the most vocal ones) are deeply in the “doomer” side (apparently, there’s sides among us? It’s a competition or fight of some sort?) and I get it because I’ve been there, but I don’t think I can stay on the sub if this is the vibe. 😞 It really feels like a venting/negative place lately and like any posts that are trying to cheer others or give advice are taken quite poorly. If an actual stutterer who had suffered as myself had said such things to me, it would have been encouraging. I probably wouldn’t have felt so hopeless. It’s such a bummer because this is the only place I’ve found that isn’t Discord to talk to fellow stutterers and apparently to some this place is too much “toxic positivity” (it feels waaay the opposite to me). Hard to explain but the negative posts here make me feel increasingly bad about myself in spite of my progress as a person who stutters.
