Oh man. I received a lot of comments. Some were mean-spirited. A “friend” when i was younger said, “WHATS WRONG WITH YOU? SPIT IT OUT!” A grown adult asked me once “Did you forget how to speak?”in a mean way. I can name other circumstances like this. Ive had peers mock my stutter. Other comments were idk...condescending. Here let me explain: some people i came across thought i lacked the mental capacity to comprehend speech and would talk to me slow and like im stupid.
