I just want to say I 1000% agree with the sentiment that your stutter is making people face a part of themselves that they are uncomfortable with. I’m 32 and as I’ve grown up and the people around me have matured and become more emotionally intelligent, it has gotten easier to communicate with others and make connections. School years were difficult because kids are still developing and maturing. When they’re faced with someone who is different than them it makes them uncomfortable, at least in my experience. It’s easier for kids to join the bandwagon of staying in friend circles that are similar to them, than to have patience and maturity to hang out with the person who isn’t like the rest. I’m not gonna lie, I definitely still run into people who don’t know how to react to my stutter or are judgmental, but I have found that a majority of people in my orbit are more understanding and honestly have their own shit that they’re dealing with that they don’t really care if I stutter. It gets better. Just try to have patience and love for yourself.
