I hate how non-stutterers REFUSE to understand a stutter. It just really baffles me. It’s not that society doesn’t understand, they REFUSE to understand. No matter how much you explain it to them, they go back to saying “Stuttering is in the mind “You only stutter because you think about it” etc. The amount of times I wasted my time explaining my disorder to someone and they immediately keep denying it and adding their own fantasies is insane. I would have lots of nickels. They act like they know more than MY disorder, it’s infuriating! I swear I think they are just rage bating. And if they are, it’s truly working.
