That’s really hard when you’re surrounded by lots of people talking fluently. It feels like in the room full of people, you’re the one that’s cursed and forced to live through it your whole life. Everytime i feel motivated to talk like “ Another day another me stuttering, although maybe i’d be able to pull off a conversation with someone today” and then when you’re about to speak, a block pops up. From blocked, contemplate, backed off, stress, blame, then becomes motivated again. It’s the same hellish cycle. It’s really hard to just accept it unless you’re ALL for telling the world you’re a stutterer and not be embarrassed about it. Although that really depends on the severity of it. Most who has it less could care less about it probably, but to those who has it hard (like me) it’s really hard to not aim for speaking fluently or maybe even speak with just LESS stuttering…
