Btw we aren’t “bitching” around. Of course there’s worse, but don’t go downgrading other people’s experiences. Stuttering can be a KILLER to your mental health. It genuinely can be a debilitating disorder to go through, coming from someone with a severe stutter. Saying stuff like “others have it worse” isn’t goin to do anything good, and instead cause more harm. Yes, people have it worse. No, it doesn’t give an excuse to downgrade other struggles because with that logic, autistic people, people with adhd, deaf, etc other disabilities that aren’t fatal shouldn’t be complaining about their struggles because “at least they aren’t in a hospital dying”
