I’ve had a stutter all my life And it’s just so frustrating. Having a stutter is bad enough but having a stutter AND a lisp, ugh.. Not only is every part of my life limiting but also this. In highschool I owned it and whatever, I didn’t care and made fun of myself along with my friends. But now that I’m in college, when I’m out adulting, doing oral reports, trying to find jobs, meeting new people, etc. it’s just so harrowing. It’s exacerbated my social anxiety to the point I don’t even like talking anymore. How can I ever live a full life if I can’t even express my thoughts how I want to? I can’t joke how I want to, I can’t be nice cause the words literally don’t come out so I probably read off as an asshole. I’m a smart ass guy with genuinely smart ideas and thoughts but I can’t ever let them out. People probably think I’m dumb. No one in my life will ever understand what it’s like.
