I don’t respect people that treat me differently because of my stutter As the title suggests, I don’t respect people if they treat me differently for stuttering. You may think this is strange and unwarranted -which I wouldn’t blame you for thinking - but you gotta hear me out. When I stutter people often treat me like I am lesser in more than one way. This manifests in various ways, but typically people gawk at me or they’ll speak in a more elementary manner, in an attempt to stoop down to my “level”. I understand many of these people may have never encountered a stutterer before so they don’t know how to act. Regardless of that, I don’t care. I’m sick of being respectful to people just to feel like utter garbage afterwards.The way I see, as long as I am stricken by this stutter people won’t respect me, so why respect them? Explaining my stutter to everyone I stutter in front of is impractical and not important in the grand scheme of things. If people aren’t going to respect me then I won’t respect them. Of course, not everyone is like this. I have fond interactions on a daily basis, but they are sparse when contrasted with the other torturous interactions. I find it eminently superior to traverse through life with this mindset as I feel I am able to have at least someone semblance of happiness.
