I hate every second of my life I didn’t know so many people had a stutter and I feel like I can add to this subreddit. I’ve had a stutter for all my life, and so has my dad, grandad and so on. I still go to school and not everyone cares that I have a stutter but there’s some people who I’ve met who just take it too far. There’s some people who interrupt me when I’m stuttering (I have a really bad one like it ruins my life) and I know I can’t fight back, because I’ll stutter. I always find it hard to make friends because I get really nervous about talking to them. And now because of this subreddit I’ve finally been able to share things about me (my stutter) with other people with the same thing. Thanks for takin time out of your day to read this.
