People want you to be ok with stuttering when they never could be

People want you to be ok with stuttering when they never could be People want me to accept and love myself despite stuttering, knowing that they would never choose to stutter if given a choice. A lot of people laugh at us, but want us to love ourselves like it’s easy. How can we begin to love ourselves when the world judges us. Stuttering is a disability that isn’t taken seriously at all. It’s so easy for those who don’t suffer to dismiss our pain. I hate that this is the life we’ve been forced to live.
