Mine is pretty severe. Even when I’m completely calm sometimes I still stutter so bad I can’t even talk. My stutter causes me to tic which includes weird faces and involuntarily blowing raspberries and I am constantly laughed at by customers at work. It’s gotten so bad that when I’m stuttering my jaw will go too far to the right and crack really bad, it’s so painful it feels like there is hot liquid running from my right ear to my jaw. My stutter definitely makes me feel like I have a pretty shitty quality of life sometimes. It can take a toll on you being laughed at every day and given weird looks by people just for trying to speak like everyone else.
