I stutter a lot and it all began when I was little, it made me suffer a lot of bullying and for 2 years I didn't talk at all, I was just so down with myself and I felt like shit (I already suffering from clinical depression and anxiety) but now I'm 19 years old and when I was 17 years old I realized that my stutter is unique, it's mine, no one else has one like this, and I love it, because if I was just like the others I would be just one more person in the world but I'm not, I'm ONE person in this world with something that makes me unique! Just embrace your stutter, if you're speaking and it gets hard because of it then just stop, take a deep breath and keep going with the talking. And if your friends or whatever tell jokes about it then you have two options: 1- just laugh at it, but not faking it, just laugh, I love the jokes my friends do about my stutter, it kills me with laughter; 2- get new friends, basically grown up people who don't laugh at you; But seriously, just learn how to embrace it and laugh about it. I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety when I was 8 years old, until the age of 16 I tried suicide a lot of times, just feeling like shit every day, no friends at all and bullies everywhere. When I was 16 I met my first girlfriend, she jokes about my stutter and I laugh, today I have friends, they joke about my stutter and I laugh, everything gets better with laughter, even the worst things! Keep your head up high and give zero fucks! Stay good! ❤
