Yeah your 100% right. Just sometimes I get burnt out & tired of all the BS & pain that comes with putting yourself out there as a stutterer. It's like everything is 10x harder when you have a bad speech impediment. Sometimes I wish I was actually mentally retarded so maybe I wouldn't be so aware of other people's negative perceptions of me. No matter how much I work on not caring it always hurts & offends me somewhat idk why. Even though I'm in my 30s it's like never figured out how to navigate life properly with this impediment.
