Vent Stuttering sucks. When you want to tell a joke, you stutter at the punchline. You want to take a part in conversation: you end up staying silent. You have an idea to share in class: the person sitting next to you says it for you. I can go on and on. Stuttering is so debilitating. I hate it when people say 'I sometimes stutter', when I haven't heard them stutter once. Sometimes stumbling over words isn't stuttering; it is the anxiety building up before a speaking situation, the living in constant fear, having blocks, the involuntary repetitions and prolongations. That's stuttering. I hate the societal expectation that stuttering is bad and should be 'lost'. That effectively silences me. I hate stuttering. Hate it. Thanks if you have read this far. I have just had a very bad day. Not with actual stuttering, but the fear of it and others interpretations of it.
