Yeah, it’s like a punch in the gut when you’re in a stuttering space but most of the people there have significantly less severe stutters than you…. Especially when someone with a really mild stutter is complaining about how hard it is. I’ve had times where I just barely kept my cool because of this. I really don’t know what the solution is… because obviously everyone who stutters should be allowed in a stuttering community, and be allowed to share their experiences…. Or!!! Sometimes it will be someone with literally no discernible stutter whatsoever. They’ll talk for like an hour with absolutely no sign that they have a stutter except for maybe a few hesitations or repetitions here and there. Yes I know, covert stuttering and all that. It’s just hard to see sometimes….
