I have so much anger about everything. I don't know how to deal with it. I feel an incredible amount of anger and bitterness towards the world. I'm angry at how people mock others, make fun of disabilities, bully others. Obviously, my stutter is a part of that. I hate how people judge me. I hate that I feel like I'd be an amazing romantic partner to someone, but at almost 25, I've never even experienced someone being INTERESTED in me. This is primarily because I'm too petrified to even talk to someone. I know how shallow a lot of people are and how I'll instantly get turned down or friend zoned because of how I talk. I've approached countless women already, and no exaggeration, I've probably asked for 30 ish numbers and I don't think I fluently got through a 1-2 minute interaction with any of them. I can see the laughter, the confusion, the disgust on their faces. I hate how this will always be my life. I hate how unlucky I am. I hate how insecure it's made me, how introverted it's made me. I hate that my parents had me, knowing I could stutter like my father. I don't want to feel such bitterness and jealousy towards fluent speakers. But, I can't see any happiness in this. The anger consumes me. It's driving me insane.
