We don't have a choice dude some people have it easy and some people don't. Stuttering has an effect on the quality of life and their is on denying that. The pit scene in the Batman trilogy is probably one of the hardest scenes in cinema for me to watch because I so closely identify with it. Stuttering developmentally fucks some us up because many of us are teased for it during elementary school by our (grossly immature) peers. These stuttering kids grow throughout (middle school, high school) and choose to socially withdrawal out of fear. This leads to trouble making friends and dating when we turn into adults. Now as adults there are very few people who will actually screw with us for it. Now most of the ridicule we do TO OURSELVES. Dude I fuck myself up so much that I'm almost 20 and I barely have friends and haven't even held a girls hand out of fear. In order to escape the pit we are going to learn about our condition and how it relates to us. Read books like (Self Therapy for the Stutterer, Redefining Stuttering) in order to understand stuttering and how people help themselves with it. Also stuttering has a HUGE psychological component that many stutterers recognize. In order to solve stuttering we have to go higher and solve the issue at it's source. Go to a therapist in order to help solve your emotional issues when it comes to socializing. Many of us do feel that talking fluently is all their is to communication but their Is so much more. Verbal communication is only 9% of human communication. The rest is Nonverbal communication (Body Language, Facial Expressions, Vocal Tonality, Vocal Volume, Vocal Rhythm). As a person with a verbal disorder It is my duty to understand all of these other forms of communication. Girls talk almost entirely in Sub-communication so if you wanna get better with women learn more about that. Hell some people even recently asked me if I could read minds because of read them so well. If you want more info about this PM me. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4shroMnPE1qi5xxto1_500.gif Continuing with the batman metaphor either you become a bitter old man or you become fucking batman. When you think about Batman wouldn't really be worth being called batman if he didn't climb the pit. Your city NEEDS you dude build yourself up so you can save it. EDIT: I understand the whole reasoning why you believe you life is shit. Having a disability that is socially taboo will do that. I read through your submitted posts and it seems like you blame stuff on your race, facial attractiveness and height as well. I completely empathize. I'm a 2nd gen Bengali college student from NY. I also struggle with insecurity about my race, my height, and the fact that many of my peers stereotype me because of all of it. Sure we may not all be the smooth talking casanova we wish we were. Deadass I sometimes feel like the living version of Raj from the Big Bang Theory. Despite having all of these self perceived cards stacked against me I'm pretty confident their is nothing stopping me from meeting 20-30 women in my lifetime + creating an expansive social group of people who enjoy my presence. I will however have to work harder than my peers because they had that shit easy. And I ain't afraid of working for what I want.
