Content

1.) Frustrating, especially when mocked or people finish sentences for me. 2.)Yes, worse in high anxiety environments (work, large crowds, meeting new people) Lost the stutter for five years, came back in early 20’s 3.) mixed, most say they don’t notice it. Others point it out making it worse to where I just shut down. 4.) Negative and Positive. Good and bad days. I get over it easily but also get angry at myself for not being able to speak fluently all the time. 5.) at this point yes. I don’t see it going completely away any time soon 6.) It’s just as frustrating for me than you when trying to tell you something ESPECIALLY if you’re staring at me like i’m an idiot, and ask me to repeat what I just said then cut me off. Be patient, and don’t make fun of me please.
