Hey you got a lot of people who know what that’s like. And I personally haven’t overcome stuttering but I have overcome how I feel about it and am working on it everyday. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. But keep going and you will have good and bad days. I have had days where I truly hate myself because of my stutter. It’s okay to hate stuttering but it’s not okay to hate you. People don’t understand. When someone makes fun of you they are outing themselves as a shitty dumb person. Don’t spend anytime speaking to them. I always say “i hope your children don’t stutter” or you can flat out just call people a Dick too. Or say I hope you never ever have to go through this type of humiliation. If they are worth anything they will shut up. It’s going to be okay man. Stuttering is one of your greatest personality building tools. It will humble you, give you understanding, embarrass you and infuriate you. But if you can (not stop stuttering) but stop hating yourself for it. You will see a different side and better understanding of yourself and speech. Love you bud
