Don’t Accept Your Stutter Disclaimer: Depending on your severity People who are paralyzed sometimes try to walk again, walking fluently. People who have are bad at a trade or skill, don’t accept that they are bad at it and instead work on it. I feel like with stutter it’s such a double sided coin of, accept and don’t fix. Or you can use fluency techniques to help. So which is it for you guys? For instance for myself, I have made a lot of excuses about things that I can and cannot do because of my stutter. In my own self therapy, I didn’t give 100% because I didn’t want to upset others, such as “Please don’t talk over me”. I think it is okay to be a bit of an asshole about your speech, people WILL treat you differently, if you let them. Don’t let them and if they can’t get with the program, it’s their problem. I understand stuttering is MY problem, my disability. It is not my problem that people lack patience. I bet their patient for someone in a wheelchair.
