Having a Stutter in College

Having a Stutter in College Having a stutter is genuinely so exhausting. I am currently in college and the introducing your self, group activities, class projects, never seems to end. I have reached the point of mentally checking out whenever some giggles or makes weird faces at me. It genuinely makes no sense. And today, this girl in my class, whenever she hears me speaking she makes these \*confused\* faces, as if I am speaking gibberish. It is just so tiring for people to not understand. And then outside of school, when I am at work I am encouraged to ask for donations from people and I just can't. The moments I have tried I have been told no, or they can't hear me or understand and I just say never mind. I genuinely wish people would respect people and be patient. being treated as if I am dumb or can't speak in general is so exhausting. I am so tired of having to constantly be like "I have a stutter", to stop someone from judging me or looking at me weird. It sucks to have this. And I know for a fact people know what a stutter is, however their perceive on TV is NOT the reality of many stutterers.
