Im 19M & I have stuttered since my pre-teen years. It got worse in high school and I had social anxiety. I was very quiet and reserved and didn’t really talk to anyone except some teachers I liked. People did laugh at me sometimes in class & school because of my stutter and it did hurt me at that time. Other of my classmates were nice and understood that a stutter. And then some just stared at me. But now after high school I come to realize that I should stop caring so much about what others think about me, especially when it’s something you can’t control like my stutter. I still gets comments like “just relax” or “did you forget what you were gonna say?” And I still get laughed at sometimes. I think my stutter has gone better since I tried somethings like working out and increasing my self esteem. I’m still a loner though 😔. But you know what, I think life is to short to be focusing and worrying on what others think of you. It’s your life, do whatever you want to do. If people make fun of you because of your stutter, just ignore them and don’t waste your time on them. To be honest I think most people who laugh at stutters are uneducated on stuttering and how to talk to someone who stutters. They get nervous and don’t know how to react. Either that or they are a piece of shit.
