I know you’re right. I’ve been too emotional to be logical about this. More than likely, these people have never come across a stutterer in their life. Of course they come to these conclusions. I realized some time ago that I kind of assume people know I stutter or at least have something “wrong” with my speech. So I don’t feel the need to tell anyone because it’s “common sense”. Clearly I’m projecting and a lot of people need to be told. I think I’ll find a way tomorrow to let it be known (my boss knows because I told her during my interview but no one else). Tbh, I’m slightly afraid of getting the dreaded “oh I stutter too haha!” But I guess I can use this as an opportunity to (ever so slightly) let out my frustration 😈. A “no, I don’t think you do :)” will suffice. Yes I agree- I want to speak more and “own” my stutter. Ironically, a time period of my life where I did just that, I stuttered the least i ever did.
