I’m a teenage girl, I can relate. I have a moderate-severe stutter that fluctuates. I hate the whole “It isn’t a big deal, just stop thinking about it” thing. If you had my stutter, it isn’t as easy as said. We need to start showing people that stuttering is an actual disability. One of the most important life functions is severely impaired, and people say it isn’t a big deal? And the “People don’t care.” If they didn’t care, then why are people so insistent on curing it? Why do people laugh at us, mock us, get impatient with us, etc, if they didn’t care so bad? And the whole “Don’t worry about it, it’s easy” My own family can’t understand what I’m saying. I actually feel physical pain caused by my stutter like shortened breath(Probably not physical pain), tightened chest, sore throat, burning mouth, aching jaw, aching head, and more. I have blocks so bad that I could walk around a huge building before the word ever comes out. I have to have my sister translate everything I say because nobody else can’t understand me. But even she can’t understand me now. I can’t call, or use voice chat, or use certain voice things because they can’t understand me. People don’t understand what I’m saying. And I also stutter no matter what. I stutter when alone, when in front of a mirror, reading, talking to animals and toddlers, slowing down, no matter what. It hurts a lot.
