We are all in this together, thinking you’re a freak over this does nothing but hurt yourself and others with speech impediments. People are gonna respond weirdly or rudely. Sometimes it’s just confusion because I know at 24 years old I’ve never met anyone else that actually stutters so I don’t expect everyone to know how to handle it perfectly. But sometimes it is mean but ever since a kid I’ve had the mindset of “if this person makes fun of me for my disability then I genuinely don’t care because that person is a piece of shit that I don’t want to associate with”. That thought process has helped me a lot.
