Something I posted on Tumblr that I just don't wanna forget What stuttering is like for me: you wanna talk to your friend about something maybe a TV show you like, or music, or ask them something like" where the bathroom" so you try to talk to them And then the words just get STUCK in your mouth. All the while a thought of what you want to say is forming in your mind but your mouth won't SAY it. The sentences and your stress level builds and grows like a water in a dam, and your just hoping for it to burst and you finally say the words, even if they come out really fast and unintelligible. But they don't and you and the person you're talking to are just left there in silence while you TRY to get sound to come out but you. Just. CAN'T. And although you may be a quiet person by nature, you still have so much to say sometimes. And THATS the worst part of it.
