It was one of those week where I was having a TERRIBLE time with my stutter. It’s weird- I can go on for weeks with a very bare stutter and then out of no where it just hits me real bad where I struggle to even say ONE word. So anyways, it was one of those weeks and I was trying to tell my colleague something regarding work and had a really hard time getting it out. Then when it came time for her to speak- she struggled to say what she wanted to ( English is not our native language, so she would struggle to say what she has to sometimes, she doesn’t have a stutter) and then she laughed and said something along the lines “omg hearing you talk, I’m becoming just like you, I’m getting it as well” That was like getting hit by a train because I was already an emotional mess that week due to my stutter. My eyes flooded with tears immediately and I told her off angrily “that’s not how stutter works, it’s not contagious” (surprisingly I stutter less when I’m angry or hurt lol) and stormed to the washroom to cry my eyes out 🥺 Another time I was having a block with the letter N and it was after New Years... ugh- which meant everyone was wishing a happy new year at work. My boss was walking by my table with a bunch of co workers and he greeted me. Well, I responded back with a happy n-n-n-n-new year to you and he proceeded to imitate me saying happy n-n-n-new year to you too while everyone laughed. I laughed along but that hurt. Another time I was talking to a friend and was having one of those hard weeks. As I was struggling to get a word out , she went like “what’s wrong with you?!” Needless to say I cut off the friendship the very next week as it wasn’t the first time she said that as I stuttered. Ain’t no body got time for such people 😌
