I hate stuttering im so tired of ts, I hate stuttering so much. It is ruining my life, im in 10th grade and people don't really have patience with me, I have to repeat myself multiple times and sometimes I just get ignored. It's so hard living a life as a stutterer or whatever im called. It's so hard to fix it. If I just talk slowly they get impatient and just start talking to another person. I mostly talk fast because I know they are impatient and I have to say things fast so they don't ignore me. I obviously do have friends and sometimes my classmates are supportive, that really warms my hearts. I also got really close friends that just joke about stuttering. I'm kinda okay with it but sometimes they whisper to each other while I'm talking saying "did you hear anything he is saying?" And it's honestly so overwhelming and makes me kind of sad. I mostly just shut up in those situations or whenever I stutter too much I just shut up and don't say anything for few minutes. I have been trying for so long to fix my stuttering. Tbh I mostly stutter when I'm excited or feel comfortable (basically when I'm with my close friends). My dad even gets angry when I stutter which honestly just ruines my mental health cuz he is my dead and he is supposed to support me and not get angry with me.
