Rant: it frustrates me how stuttering is less accepted in society because it's not visible like being in a wheelchair Basicly the title. For whatever reason people just think I'm weird or fucking with them when I stutter. I've had people straight up ghost me after an 'accident' (I hide my stutter fairly well). It makes me feel less accepted as a person because I can't fully express my thoughts into words. People have described me as a quite type. If only they knew how much I want to talk. Hurts to live with this shit sometimes but I guess I could've been of way worse. Rambling way too much now. Needed to vent in a place where people truely understand, not like I 'understand' as my non stuttering friends tell me.
