I’m 41 and have stuttered my whole life. I still do and it gets even worse when I’m nervous or have to speak in front of people. This has been true my entire life and I wish I understood it more when I was younger: no one cares that I stuttered. Most people are just as nervous as I was and won’t even remember that I stutter tomorrow. I spent the majority of my life caring so much what other people thought of me that I ruined the world around me. I made myself awkward and unlikable. I ruined my job prospects by being too nervous. As soon as I stopped caring. So did everyone else. You will never get rid of your stutter and the sooner you accept that, the better your life will become. Fuck those who make fun of us. It doesn’t matter in the end.
