a rant this is long rant but I need to get it off my chest I was born with a stutter and I am currently in my late 20s and my life is miserable because of stuttering my parents sent me to many speech therapists and doctors when I was a child and I finished several treatment courses with them but nothing really worked. I was told that stuttering usually goes away when I get older but that was not the case for me and it is actually now worse than before. I even visited a speech therapist recently after all those years and did some reading sessions and tried all the techniques with 0 improvement stuttering had a severe effect on me mentally, socially and professionalIy. I am exhausted of being misunderstood as being unapproachable and rude since I always avoided social situations because of stuttering. I lost count of how many times this condition affected my life whether it is having a phone call and the other person hangs up thinking the call is over or failing job interviews or the extreme difficulty of making friends or never being able to get into a relationship. I just can't picture myself having a normal life ever I spent all my life isolaing myself because of it. I never did any social activity in highschool or university or even after graduation, which is why I am completely lonely today. never had any romantic relationship or even approached anybody that I found attractive in my entire life. I can go on and on for hours on how many things I missed on because of stuttering writing this down made me feel a little bit better but I am just tired mentally and physically. it is a constant daily torture with no light at the end of the tunnel
