Ohh alright. But other than personal conversations based on the interest of individual people, I believe there is a need to talk about stammering and spread awareness about it, because it is completely misunderstood and there are too many misconceptions prevailing in society about it, even among well educated people. This hurts people who stutter, including vulnerable young children who cannot stand up for themselves. Therefore, at a time when so many stigmatised dimensions of human experience are being brought out into the open and talked about, I believe people have a responsibility to be receptive to this too. Because it would be hypocritical to only be enthusiastic about the many popular and fashionable causes out there and completely ignore and invalidate the experiences of people who stutter. This is what confuses and upsets me the most. For example, recently one of my professors wanted to have a private conversation with me about some personal problems I was having in college. She said I could confide in her about anything. But when I tried to share some of my struggles with stuttering with her, she would not hear of it. She said it is not a problem at all & is not something that needs to be discussed. I didn't try to make her understand then, but later I ended up writing a personal letter to her explaining how much stuttering has affected my life and how it still causes problems and struggles in my daily life. Usually I never try to make people understand, but in that particular instance I gave it a shot because I had no other person in my life with whom I could talk about stuttering. Often I think it's because they don't realise the impact it can have on your life, that they dismiss it as someone unworthy of attention.
