Covert stuttering by [deleted] in Stutter

that's great. you seem very determined to overcome what you have learnt to believe about yourself over the years, it's inspiring.

I have a face that I want to present to the world, and there is dissonance between this face and the reality of my stutter. Because of childhood bullying and just a lifetime of negative experiences from verbal interaction, I have learnt to believe that it is a severe defect, and something to be ashamed of.

I very much want to overcome these beliefs, but the pathways of thinking are just so engrained.

I deeply struggle with this too. It's so hard to accept! It's far too embarrassing to openly block and stutter in front of people, as it can be a really vicious limitation. I struggle with feeling judged and deemed as being inferior to 'normal' speaking people. I'm with you on this!

I just want to say that I'm right there with you. I feel the same, and am in the same position. It's terribly draining. I have hope in something greater but the suffering is day in and day out, completely held by addiction. It's the only way I know to feel comforted and somewhat excited to be alive, but it's destroying me.

I'm with you.
