Well, this post reminds me of something that I was forgotten trough my busy job with a lot of phonecalls, meetings and talking to a lot of people on a daily basis.......I Stutter too...... I get rarely remarks on my stuttering, they accept me for what I am.(or the stuttering) F@*k that, they HAVE to accept me, or I will tear them a new one Most people don't care if you stutter.( disregarding the occasional a-hole) and that's not because of how THEY are dealing with the stuttering but how I am dealing with my stutter. It's is just like handling the "bully" at school. Stuttering is a part of your life, your personality, it made you the person you are today and there is nothing wrong with that. Embrace your stutter, be proud of it. Be proud of the person you are today !! You made it, you got the job,you're competent, who cares if you stutter. Copy and paste from a previous post of mine. Hi, first of all, accept your stuttering, there is nothing wrong with it. It took me 20 years to realize that my stutter is not holding me back. It is the way I was dealing with my stuttering that was holding me back. It is easy to blame your stuttering of everything that isn't going your way in your life. A bit harsh ? Yes ! but think about it, can some of it be true ? And yes, it may be more difficult to make new friends and spontaniously talk to people you don't know. Explain to them you have a stutter, you will avoid a situation where you and the other person is feeling uncomfortable. If that happens there will be "tension in your voice" and your stutter will increase. By addressing the stuttering you will both feel more comfortable and you stutter will decrease. It may be a hard nut to crack, but I want you to think if there are any positive sides of your stuttering. (i'm sure their are, it took me months to figure that out myself) I too had this fase of depression. You CAN overcome this. Embrace your stuttering, be proud of who you are. Go to specialized speech therapy. But whatever you do, dont be a victim of your stutter. Did I completly overcome my stutter ? No, but i did accept it and as result people accept me and my speech defect.That was the key to overcome this depression fase, and as a result my speech improved.
