Maybe people are different. I decided to try therapy when I was like 20 years old. I was going through college normal the year before and this year I wanted to do the therapy since the school specialized in speech therapy. The therapy was at like 9:00 a.m.... afterwards my whole day was me thinking about my speech. And thinking there was something wrong with me that needed to be fixed. I couldn't focus on the actual things that mattered, enjoying my class enjoying the people I was meeting, enjoying the opportunity of being at college. I started my day off going to therapy. That reminded me that there was something not perfect with me and it made me focus on it the whole day. Made me way worse and did not have fun days. There's so much more to life than speech fluency. Be in amazing shape, be a good person, have interesting things to talk about, how I speak is literally at the bottom of the totem pole. If anyone cares about how I speak, I can very easily point at their fat stomach, they're double chin, the literal patheticness of a person that would even mention something that someone can't help. There's way more important things in life for me to think about. Yes it's f****** annoying. Yes, it's way more tiring to have a conversation. Yes, I am 38 and still will stutter on my f****** last name when I make a phone call. In the end, there's more important things in life and anyone that's a good person will care less about your speech fluency. They will care more about the person that you are.
