I wish no one in my family stuttered. So a little background. Stuttering runs in my family. My father, 2 uncles and 2 brothers stuttered. Notice how i used the past tense here. The thing is they all automatically recovered somehow around the age of 14 15 from being a mild stutterer to completely normal. I always had a very severe stammer but no one ever looked twice, asked how its affected my life or cared enough to take me to therapy. They always that that I'd recover just like everyone else. Now im 22, almost 23, never had a social life or been in any relationship. Stopped taking calls Altogether coz I'm scared of them and have to take my younger brother to market or take my calls to talk for me. I just finished my degree and moving into the job life and I'm scared as hell. I cant function normally in a society. Hell I'm even afraid to order takeout. Still no one in my family cares and they just act like its nothing. I've been depressed my whole life and have even considered hurting myself at a point but i guess im not strong enough for that as well. Quarantine has been really hard for me. Missing presentations and vivas even after doing the work etc. I just wish there was a cure. My life would've been so much better. I wouldn't be locked away in my room all day in the 'peak years' of my life. FML
