commentr/StutterDecember 1, 2025

Content

I won't go into any situation with the mindset that I don't want to stutter, that reinforces the internalized shame of the stuttering itself. If I'm fluent for a while, I enjoy it, if I stutter that's okay too, I focus on being present in the conversation regardless of whether and how I stutter. I've been silent enough, I'll say what I want to say.
