Can anyone else relate? Was glad to find this sub tonight, wanted to get this off my chest. I think I've always had a mild stutter. Is it awful of me to sometimes wish my stutter was worse? At present, only my partner can really tell that I have trouble with it. Whenever I stammer around other friends or coworkers, because they don't hear it often, they'll draw attention to it or poke fun. I'm good at laughing at myself, but when it comes to stammering, people laughing at it makes me feel really stupid. I always just laugh it off with them because I don't see any point in killing the mood by trying to explain. I think if I was more easily identifiable as a stutterer, people might not comment on it, or maybe I'd feel better about explaining because it's easier for them to see and understand. I'm sure that there's a lot of people here that would give anything to be me, I know this is a messed up thought to have and I don't seriously wish my stutter was worse. But I do have the thought sometimes, just because of how awkward and embarrassing it is to stammer in front of people who think I'm just joking or something. Was wondering if anyone else ever felt the same.
