Wow! I love this, that's exactly how it went for me. The acceptance part was the best, it's like I finally started to realize my true potential, while before I was limiting myself, now I can fully express my thoughts, and I don't care if I struggle or not. And do you know what? The moment I fully realized that I don't care about what others think of my stutter is when it reduced my blocks. Here's what helped me: - therapy: at uni, I consulted this amazing psychologist. From our first meeting, she was clear that she can't help my stutter, since she's not a speech therapist, but she did help in lot of areas in my life to help me with my low self esteem. It took me about 2 semesters and a half until she believed that I was at a much better place than when I first joined. - Solo traveling: after uni, I felt at a better place, I started a job, covid came, 2 years went by very quickly, I felt something was missing in my life, I still believed that my stutter was blocking me, I wanted to do something exciting, and out of the ordinary for me. So, I traveled by myself to see if I can handle it in an unknown environment, and it went amazingly well, I made lots of friends, had normal conversations with total strangers, it was awesome, felt like I had a new superpower. - Social activities: a couple months after coming back from turkiye, I wanted to challenge myself even more, so I took an improv class. It helped me a looot, not only it helped me get out of my comfort zone, but I also met some awesome people. Now, I feel at peace. Sometimes I feel thankful, all these years of stutter made me who I am today.
