14 Things Only People Who Stammer Will Understand
6. You Can't Kill A Stammer
Ever tried to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and eradicate your stammer with sheer effort? Drastic action, willpower, practice - these won’t kill your stammer. They’ll make it worse.
Stammering loves paradoxes. One is that the more you attack your stammer, the stronger it becomes. If anything, you have to try to not care about it. Which is another paradox.
In fact, odds are you’ll probably have your stammer for the rest of your life. Unless you’re cool like Bruce Willis and somehow grew out of it.
