Hey, I hear you. I just want to say that your feelings are valid—stuttering can be really frustrating and it’s natural to feel overwhelmed at times. But I don’t think your stutter makes you “doomed” or any less worthy of love and friendship. The people who care about you will value you, not just your fluency. It’s okay to vent and feel hurt—it doesn’t make you weak. There are people out there who will listen, be patient, and see the amazing person you are beyond the stutter. And sometimes, the right people won’t even see it as a burden—they’ll see it as part of what makes you unique. You’re not alone in feeling this, and it’s okay to take your time to navigate it. Be gentle with yourself—you deserve compassion, not judgement.
