This post is coming out of a black, depressed mindset and doesn’t have much to do with stuttering per se. I mean of course stuttering can cause these feelings, but so can lots of other things, and it’s quite possible to stutter (and quite possible to have LOTS of problems) without acquiring this kind of mindset. I’m NOT trying to say “just look on the bright side”, only to remind you that attitude can make a HUGE difference in how you see things. I am someone with a severe stutter. People can sense your attitude and mindset. If you walk around with this kind of attitude broadcasting to others, people are going to judge you more for that than for stuttering.
