Does anyone sometimes resent that non-stutterers take their fluent speech for granted and have no idea how lucky they are. All my life I've been tormented by severe stuttering, and when I see others openly speak so criminally easily and freely without a care in the world, while I struggle to say a single sentence, I can't help but feel a little resentment that they're oblivious to the fact of how incredibly blessed they are to not stutter. I'd cut both my legs and arms off to stop stuttering.
