Wow, it’s relieving to hear that I am not the only one that feels this. I have a mild stutter but it is definitely there and I’ve had some horrendous blocks where my face gets distorted and I can’t fucking breathe. Stuttering is literally the reason why I have anxiety. If I did not stutter, I would NOT have anxiety and I don’t say this lightly. I love talking to people, I love giving compliments, I love human interaction. I admire people who are eloquent in their speech and very outgoing but I also feel very jealous because I wish that person was me. I know people say don’t let your stutter control you, but it’s not that easy. I also wonder how drastically my life would be different if I didn’t stutter. How many more friends I would make, how much more happier I’d be, how much more impact I’d make on the world. My family has high expectations for me but I always feel like I’m not reaching them because of my stutter. Alright, my little rant is over 😂
