First of all I am really sorry you had to go through that, people reacting like that always feel like shit and makes me want to ounch them in the face. The honest yet difficult truth which I have been struggling with is that we have a impediment. No matter how much it sucks to admit and how much we try to hide it. Just like a person that was born without limb(s) or any other one. It is something that if we want to overcome, we need to accept and treat it. Just like perole need medication, bionic limbs or any other treatment, we need speech therapy. That is fact. Some more so than others, but true nonetheless. The point of this wall of text I'm writing to you is that you have to start doing some type of speech therapy whether self imposed or by a doctor and just start implementing the strategies like crazy in every situation with zero regard for what others think about you. Fuck what other people think. They know we are stutterers nonmatter what, so why try to hide it by speaking fast or whatever. Dont get me wrong, im not coming to criticize you because I am also only in the process of internalizing this truth and know how much it is against our "natural tendecy" of being embarrassed and trying to fit in for years. Stay strong, be confident because everyone has an impediment, and give less fucks for what isnt beneficial and important to you.
