Not really no. Most people sympathize with me when I stutter. Especially if I stop and say “sorry I stutter.” Everyone knows someone who does. No one ever cared, it was made up in my head because of how self conscious I was. I was the one that made my life difficult, not the outside world. I did lose out on a few jobs. Or at least I thought. Maybe it was more due to the fact I applied for janitorial jobs which do require experience, when I had none, or over night stocking jobs where they’d rather have young stronger people working. It was easier to deal with rejection when I blamed my stuttering. When I finally got brave enough, I applied at Walmart and got hired on the spot. I avoided retail like the plague because I thought they’d just refuse me when in reality.. no one has ever cared.. not a single person. My worst years were my childhood but after school, I became awkward and always blamed my stutter. I think stuttering causes trauma and I personally believe if we had mental health help instead of speech therapy we’d all be better off. Learning how to accept it instead of fix it. It cannot be fixed, you just learn to stop caring and shortly after it’s like the wires that were crossed our entire lives straighten out.
