This is exactly my life. And yes, I am completely exhausted. I come home everyday feeling like I’ve been practically physically assaulted. Feels impossible to actually get close to people living like this, so I just put up walls. I really do try and I know I should try even harder. But jeez, I just need a break sometimes. My stutter is not severe either but I’ll never be like them, and they’ll never understand me really. Hopefully one day we can figure this out…
