There is a reason why negativity is so prevalent among stutterers online (never met one in real life). What works for you will not work for everyone. I've done the whole expose yourself to *uncomfortable situations* thing several times. I felt embarrassment each time I put myself out there. I tried to accept my stutter for what it is, and not concern myself with fluency which helped for brief moments. I felt great after every attempt, I didn't give two fucks about what people thought, and you know what happened? I fell back into my old ways of fearing my own shadow. I find myself unable to sustain my positive mindset. I cannot always put myself out there due to it being physically and mentally exhausting. I've accepted the fact that I will never be a happy person who is okay with my stutter and that's fine. Life is short and what you do here doesn't mean shit anyways.
