Do any of you guys get immense happiness when you finally say something fluently without speech blocks or stuttering? I get this once in a while and the amount of self fulfilment for that moment in unbelievable. I think to myself, “Is this what a normal person feels like when they socialise?”. I’ve never had a proper social life, not even with my parents, so even saying one sentence without the feeling of stuttering means the world to me. I think of that moment for the rest of the day and sometimes on to the next day. If everyone had one wish, a normal person would ask for £1 million or a new house or something, but for me, without hesitation, I would wish to have normal speech so I can live a normal life. However, we all know this is not real and never will so we have to create our own way of life: avoiding social interaction, constructing sentences to avoid ‘bad words/phrases, saying ‘umm’ or ‘uhh’ a lot, feeling like your stomach has sunk when you embarrass yourself after stuttering and list goes on… Thanks for reading my - somewhat deep - rant and some of my experiences of stuttering and hope you can relate to something. Feel free to reply. You can’t stutter when typing so type your hearts away. Also DM me if you want to chat about something i’ll reply as soon as I can. Have a great day everyone.😁
