I’m not “born with a stutter”, actually. I developed it in the last few years. I did hint at it in this post but I should’ve made it clearer mb. But not to be blunt here, I care absolutely less that you are age 20-30, an M or F, did a presentation for college, shit went badly and you are going woe-is-me mode about it and are in the same boat as me. Not that I don’t think people shouldn’t express the fact because I am also expressing myself too, I think everyone should have a platform or outlet to vent too, but when most of the replies to posts of similar people with my issue is only just a mere fucking anecdote there is no substance or an actual way forward to go from my current issue in hopes of resolving it. Why else do you think people like me post on this subreddit? We fucking hate to death the concept of stuttering and it’s affect on our daily life. It is a plague that makes you feel incredibly powerless to literally everyone including both those supposedly tougher and weaker than you. The idea of a “stuttering community” is laughable since I want to get the fuck out if anything. And yes, I am grateful for how I’ve been born. Only I am still human and have human qualities, meaning I can still be frustrated and discontent with my issue while being grateful I don’t have worse disabilities.  Anyways, my point still stands that the majority of responses here are unhelpful regardless of their success in providing reassurance towards others.
