Do you think it's annoying when non-stutterers complain about their speech? Sometimes I feel like such a bad person but whenever a non-stutterer(literally anyone who is my friend) complains about how they are bad at talking/making conversations, especially when they complain about being scared to present, it makes me so irritated. Like you can speak perfectly fine so why are you scared? You can speak normally and you never have to worry about speaking at all. I know I'm probably just jealous but it's just annoying how people will complain about their speech when they're literally fine when stutterers can't even speak without stuttering or blocking sometimes. Sometimes it gets so bad I just want to stop talking forever or wish I could be like them.
