Kinda urgent I guess I just want to call someone Just made a Reddit to post this. I didn’t know communities like this existed. I just want to call someone I just want to hear another stuttering voice like me. I’m sixteen, a girl, and my minds been strangled by this stutter since I can remember bein able to vocalize shit. Docs say it’s from abuse n neglect, I just think my vocal cords stay mockin me. I don’t, I didn’t even know communities like this existed. Another desperate night here by me, crying over the lack of stamina my vocal cords got. My dream is to do spoken word. Now I’m just crying on my floor. In a halfway house currently n my roommate really degraded me for how I speak without meaning. Just a rough night. I don’t know how reddit works if y’all can message me or some shit but please do cause I deadass just want to know anyone who speaks like me. I never met a soul w a broken tongue like mine. It’s my dream. I used to daydream bout having a friend like me all thru elementary n middle school n shit. Yeah that’s it. I’m just having such a hard fuckin night and I wish I could untangle these vocal cords I just feel so dehumanized by my own voice and betrayed by the sounds that come from my fuckin mouth. Idk how the fuck to workreddit. I just hope to find n connect n talk to youth, a young person, or someone who deals with a severe or moderate stutter so fuckin badly. My Instagram is @joyyryyde it’s private just request n message me. I really again don’t know how to use Reddit and I’m not finna try either. Just yeah hoping to connect with a stutter. Update This fuckin app is so crazy I can’t believe there’s a whole community of people with a stutter this is so wild and I’m so elated to see this shit I’m so happy it’s crazy to see and hear and read the experiences and emotions y’all go thru that I can see my reflection in . I haven’t even had one conversation but reading all y’all stories n shares makes me cry cause I understand that shit down to the fabric of my soul. Shit.
