I think I spoke to you before. You were the doomthinker that shocked me by your statements. It's good that you accepted your stutter. It's one of the mental weapons one should sharpen. The mental part of stuttering is horribly tormenting, so it's good to address this. There's more like me, even ones that developed way further than me. So it's not uncommon, as you make it sound. It once felt like I was the only one on this planet that suffered from this, until I met hundreds at a time and realized I wasn't alone. I started my journey in 2016. Before that it was just 1 on 1 speech therapy from "speech therapists" who don't know a thing about how it is to stutter. It did not help me at all. Best short advice I could give you if you ever choose to go further than self-acceptance is, work on the mental part at least as hard, if not harder, than the physical part. And learn from other folks who stutter, listen, acquire new insights. Good day.
