Growing up throughout middle and high school I wouldn’t say it was hardcore bullying about my stutter, but I’d get the looks and hearing the laughs when I did stutter in class or if I had a hard time saying something. But when I finished college and started going to job interviews, for some reason they’d ask what my name was and I’m like ya’ll know my name if you scheduled me for an interview… lol but if you’re like me I usually always stutter when someone asks me my name for idk what reason and they’d be like “did you forget?” But I’d say till this day at 29 years old, I still fear the stuttering in public.. however as I’ve gotten older I’m more confident to just say “fuck it’” in my mind because I need something and I’m able to speak. When I go in with that mentality whether it be ordering food or speaking on the phone with a job or something, it really turns out not that bad and for me people are pretty patient these days and don’t mock me or comment on my stutter. Whoever is struggling, you got this bud! 🙏🏼 we’re in this together and remember… we’re part of that special 3-5% of people in the world who have this gift/curse.
