How to handle a lisp?

You have two options, and only really one IMO. One, you start speech therapy again and work hard until you conquer your speech impediment, and even while you work on your lisp you talk to people without giving a fuck about your lisp and just own yourself. This would be my choice.

Second, you can just own your lisp, talk to everybody, and not give a fuck about it.

Either way you need to own who you are, love yourself for what you are now, and try to get better each day. I would suggest that you also try to overcome your lisp while you do that, but if you think that it is impossible you need to stop letting your lisp define you and how you act.

Good luck either way.

Put pebbles in your mouth and practice speaking. It worked for some.

Karl Lagerfeld has a lisp. Do you think he gives a fuck?

If you don't want another therapy or it will not get you the results you want, there's just the one positive option, that is a solution for everything you cannot change about yourself:

Own it!

This reminds me of when that bitch Lou Ferrigno opened his mouth. Once he did that, he never got laid again.
