Some people here need **IF YOU CAN'T TAKE CRITICISM AND WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE YOUR VIEWS ON STUTTER JUDGED DON'T READ ANY FURTHER* I know this site, over all other things, is here to let people vent and say what's on their mind, let them express their opinion about their stutter and emotions it can cause. But amount of negativity in some of the posts lately is overwhelming. So many of you feel so entitled to feel miserable, to be depressed, to dwell in sorrow just because you fucking stutter. I am reading most of these posts in awe. You want to kill yourself? You never want to have kids? You feel like people never take you seriously? Just because you fucking stutter? Shut up. Stutter is not your problem. It never was to begin with. Even if you didn't stutter you'd most likely be who you are now, just a shell, a weak shadow of what you could have become if you stopped being self destructive, negative and judging coward. Why? Because there'd be something else. There is always something else that could make you feel miserable and make your life seem pointless. So stop bullshitting others, and primarily, stop bullshitting yourself. It's repeating occurrence of this sub. People think they have it the worst. There is no one out there having it worse than they do. If only you didn't have a stutter, if only you talked fluenty, your life would be such a perfect fairy tale and everything else would fall in place and be easy to endure compared to this. B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T You sit in your rooms, dwelling over your destiny, cursing and accusing everyone else except the one and only person you need to be mad and pissed off at. Yourself. I won't talk about others who have it worse than you, who beat the odds, who fought for themselves and managed to do something with their lives. They don't matter here. But you do. You can continue living the way you do and realize one day, on your death bed, that shit you were worried about never mattered in the first place. That all those stupid annoyances you came across were nothing but part yours and everyone else's lives. So go ahead, continue what you're doing. Be mad at yourself, at your parents, at other people who won't understand you, at others who laugh at you and your stutter. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve to feel the way you do, because after all, you do stutter. Let your whole life slide beside you because you didn't have courage or determination to try and do something about it. Realize that you can be happy and have a meaningful, fulfilling life but that you are the only one standing in front of that. Accept and embrace this, no matter how terrifying and decide to do something about it. You can't grow as a person if you can't accept failure and get out of your comfort zone. So man up and fight for your happiness or shut up and keep living your miserable lives. But don't be mad at anyone else except yourself for letting that life you always wanted to have slip away. _____________________________________________________ I wrote this in fit of rage when I saw last post about people never taking stutterers seriously. I am not sure if it might end up being too harsh so moderator can PM me and I'd gladly edit those parts but imo, it will lose most of it's effect. I forgot I didn't finish the name before posting and now I can't do it anymore. I guess it can be considered a click bait. :p
