ig other people ? Kids are not insecure by default, on the contrary (i mean if you have good parents), kids learn that "skill" in a perfect not-ableist, not-allergic-to-difference world, we'd just stutter freely with no fear, but we live in a world where people associate your speech with your intelligence, time is money, some people are mean to be mean so we all end up like that ig Because on here I see it a lot, the way we feel about our stutter doesn't really match the intensity of it, there's severe stutterers who dgaf about it and some stealth stutterers who are missing out on their own life because of fear i think it really depends how the adults around you as a kid treated it, if you were bullied for it or simply accepted and how you are being treated now too But please you ARE a human, you are a person, do you really think you are less human than the people who make you feel shitty about it ? Our society cares way too much about the way we speak rather than the content of our words but that's not a you thing, you didn't do shit , you're just here trying to live your life like all of us, you're a person, you deserve to feel like one no matter what 🫂
