Stuttering is hard Whenever I tell ppl I stutter and how it effects me I usually get “well ___ has it worse “ like nah really?? You don’t think I know stuttering isn’t the worse thing in the world and other ppl have it worse? 😭 I still get to talk ab MY experiences . I actually find it super annoying bc I feel like those ppl r invalidating or saying “well ur problems r minor”. Idk if other ppl have experienced this but yes Ik stuttering ISNT the end of the universe but we can still talk ab how hard it is . Speech is what connects us as humans and when something makes it hard for us to use speech we feel like an “other” .
