wait..not everyone’s an asshole? I was talking to my boyfriend about this last night. I genuinely still get surprised when I meet someone kind. Someone who never mocks my stutter, treats me less than, or talks down to me. Not to say good people are hard to find, but I think all stutters can relate to the fact that we can detect people’s reactions FAST (facial expressions, avoidance, all that fun stuff) personally speaking I’m very sensitive to peoples minute reactions to my speech. It goes a long way to be kind.
