The worst part about stuttering is people telling you to suck it up Imagine being depressed and contemplating suicide because of your shitty miserable life, then someone tells you "you have two choices you can either continue living your miserable life, or do something to have a chance at changing it. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, there are plenty of other people who have been depressed and are now successful, suck it up." This would be seen as nothing you would ever tell someone who is depressed yet telling it to stutters is common which is the worst part.
