Social media? That has nothing to do with it. I believe your experience is just overall different? My stuttering has been debilitating ever since I could speak. All through out grade school I was treated like the “special” kid by all my peers and friendships were extremely difficult for me to manage. People were either making fun of me or pitied me, none of them ever respected me. The bullying was relentless in middle school and high school. Now as an adult I’ve been bullied and discriminated against about my stuttering at every job I’ve had. I’ve straight up had coworkers or bosses mimic it. I constantly got treated like I was stupid by most of the bosses I’ve had. I have straight up been told by job interviewers that they wouldn’t hire me because my speech was too dis fluent and they thought I couldn’t perform the job. Forgive my language but don’t fucking tell me my condition is not debilitating. That’s extremely insensitive to tell someone, even if you mean it in a positive way.
