And know exactly what you’re talking about! Isolation From others, being trapped inside your own thoughts because I can’t communicate it verbally, feeling restricted through speech and the anxiety of judgment from others when I speak. Trust me, I’ve been there. It very much depends on the day or what state I am in mentally. Some days I don’t care that I stutter and I’m just a chatterbox whether somebody wants to listen or not. I’m determined to be seen and heard. And someday my anxiety is too much and I don’t wanna be seen or heard. But it’s becoming less and less these days. In recent years, I’ve also worked on seeing my stutter in a different light. When I was younger, I used to see it as a curse. Now that I’m older, I see it as my heavenly restrictions.
