Venting English is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes What is the point of living if you can't share your thoughts and experience .. if everyone you run into thinks you are some weirdo who can't talk .. if you have to adopt the quiet kid personality even if you are not quite at all .. if you have to prepare for 30 minutes just to say a couple of words that others say them and even hundred more without thinking about it .. stuttering is the mother of all mental illnesses.. i think that I have developed two mental illnesses depression and social anxiety. Even the days when I'm not stuttering that bad I would have Headache because I would be self conscious the whole day and when I'm not self conscious I stutter badly . I'm usually a guy with a good sense of humor that can't share his jokes because either it won't be understood or I would tell it in a really weird and bad way where it would lose all its humor And I live in a fast paced society where you have to be quick and have to be really talky to be respected and mental illnesses is considered as stigma.
