I just don’t like it when people say that “people don’t care” Of course, I see this as an attempt to be nice and supportive, and I appreciate that, but realistically (especially if you lived in our shoes) everybody cares. If nobody cared about how I sounded, people wouldn’t be trying to cure this disorder, or I wouldn’t have been put in speech therapy for 10+ years for it. I shouldn’t have gotten laughed at, babied, mocked or humiliated because of my stutter if “nobody cared” I shouldn’t be seeing videos of” How to cure stuttering in 10 minutes!” “Try this to cure stuttering!” And etc if nobody cared. And I see a LOT of those scams. I shouldn’t have to repeat my sentences because somebody told me to or to have my sentences cut off since “nobody cares”. Trust me, people do care.
