Hey, listen.. all of these people are saying what I'm about to say but hopefully i can put some stuff into perspective. The best thing i could have ever done for my stuttering was to put myself into situations that made me feel uncomfortable on purpose. I took jobs that involved a lot of talking, i made sure i ordered my food at restaurants and drive thrus my own way etc. The first few months and even years were brutal and tough. Getting over my fears because those who pointed it out where either dickheads that needed to put in their place or people just curious about how it came about. Now i have a degree in teaching and have taught multiple classes of students with 20-35 kids in them. All looking at me and listening to what i have to teach them. You can care what people think but more importantly is what you think and if you think you deserve more out of life than you have now. Then do it, it will hurt you and you'll want to quit and go back to being a hermit and making excuses to just not open your mouth but you won't get better. My stuttering is almost nonexistent now. Medication is also an option, look into Pagoclone. I almost did a clinical trial for it to stop my stuttering but never got the chance to do fulfill it. I'll keep saying it because its important, this process of learning to care less all rip you apart but you will be better for it for sure. I salute any efforts on the part of other people trying to get better, i watched the Kings Speech for inspiration because the truth is we all suffer from this. Kings, Athletes, Businessmen/women and even just working class people. Keep your head up, it can always get better but thats your decision.
