OMG that lady was so horrendously wrong in saying what she did....part of her job is to DEAL WITH STRANGERS, or if I may act a little brusque, “deal with SHIT like THIS”... but OP, it is NOT your fault. It’s genetic, if you’re older than 21, it’s genetic...and that, IN NO WAY MEANS YOU CANNOT GET THROUGH IT. A bigger challenge than living with a stutter is LIVING among people like our lady right here. YOU WILL HAVE TO WITHSTAND SNIDE REMARKS FROM PEOPLE LIKE HER...EACH DAY, EVERYDAY...and you CANNOT let all the hate they heave at you get to you....it’s just how the world is... people will always try and pull you down NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO...I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE TROLLING ELON MUSK’s stutter ffs lmao...do you think he cares? Do you think he EVER has? If he had, he’d be just another dude who “c-c-cant ummm uhhh ahh s-s-s-spe-speak w-i-th-ou-t-t-t wh-wh ummm wheezing” Life’s too short to focus on the people who hate you (cause that’s like....the entire human race, essentially?) instead, surround yourself with people who actually CARE FOR YOU, and don’t give a flying fuck about the fact that you can’t speak as fluently as Joe Sixpack I just want you to know that you’re an AMAZING person, and you WILL get over this tinyyyy obstacle in your life...your GRANDPARENTS believe in you, and I BELIEVE IN YOU...all you need to do is BELIEVE IN YOURSELF... If that lady managed to hurt you as a complete stranger, Imma try to make it right: I LOVEEEEEE YOUUUUUU....YOU BE DA BEST AND I’D LOVE TO HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY!!!!
