My problem currently (Rant) I have a problem. It may to some, not a serious problem, but to me, it is. Currently, I have this little dilemma when I bring up the problems I have about stuttering. That problem, people comparing my unfixable problem to things that CAN BE FIXED. I SHOULD REPAT: CAN. BE. FIXED. A stutter cannot be "cured" but it can be controlled. Knowing this, I dont like answering questions about my stutter, but I'm a nice person and would answer those questions anyway no matter how much I dont like it. The dilemma is that people compair being fat or something that is so fixable, is the same problem as having a stutter. Crazy right? This is a example from the other day: So, this chic at my table, ( We are all in highschool), Everyone is friends with her, she is a "nice person", as she is claimed to be. What people dont notice is that she has this power complex. Every damn day she complains about "being fat and how much of a struggle it is." Then she is praised and buttered up, but she does nothing to fix it. When one of my friends at the table, one that I hold dear to my heart, ask me " how hard is it to say a paragraph without stuttering"? Because we are in the same English class and we have to do speeches. I tell him that "it gets hard going towards the end because I want to get it down and over with". I say how it does get a bit hard and nerve racking because everyone is staring at me and it makes my stuttering worse. (Let me elaborate, I dont speak about this stuff in the first place because I hate speaking about It.) This b*tch, is going to say," Well just do it anyway. Grow up and get it done and over with. Stop complaining and whining, and do it. All you do is complain and whine about something not so serious." Oh my god..... I never in my life have met someone so dense and ignorant. Like wow, except for anti-vaxxers, but wow. The irony that came out of her mouth. And not surprisingly, everyone agreed with her, like she doesn't complain 24-7 about something she can fix so damn easily. Just by getting up and walking. In my defense, I at least try to control my stuttering by going to therapy and trying to better myself into something better that I was before. I cant say anything to her because then I'll get pushed out of the group that I've worked so hard to get in. The group with all of my close friends are in, the ones who supported me all these years, are now ignoring the comment she just just said. I work hard to not stutter, or at least control it to the point where it's not noticable. To have someone tell me that it is not a serious problem and what she is basically saying is that it's my fault that i have this disability. It was never my fault, I never asked for this. I wish I had the ability or fuking privilege to get rid of it. To achieve the goal that I wanted for so long but to never reach. Only to say my face that my stutter, the one that pushes people away, the one that makes people get annoyed really quick, the one that makes people treat me differently, the good and the bad, that my stutter, is not a problem. I deal with more shit then she does in a life time. Her problem is do damn fixable, that she'll be able to fix it in a couple of months. Me, I, it will take a whole LIFETIME, to fix my stutter. She tells me that I'm the one who is complaining constantly, when she does it more than I would. I'm just so tired of people like her and it just seems like they're everywhere. God, please press the reset button already. TDLR: Girl complains that I complain to much about my stutter, when I barely do it, and she does it on a daily basis, every, fuking, day.
