one of those stuttering moments that just hurts too much... This hurts. I’ve had a stutter for as long as I can remember (overcomed it finally, but took many, many years), and one of the most frustrating aspects is when I have a long, detailed, and really interesting story to share, but I end up summarizing it into just a few sentences. I have so much to her or him or them...but ... .. I can't .. The struggle to get the words out often forces me to cut it short, and it feels like I can’t fully express myself or show people who I really am. Stuttering shouldn’t limit our ability to communicate, but it often feels like it does. sincerely internet guy TL;DR:Stuttering makes it hard to share detailed stories, leading to frustration and feeling unable to fully express who I am.
