I don’t think you understand it’s the people around you. And like I said again, it’s a DISABILITY. You think I don’t try every single day to make myself a better person? It’s just like how I would wanna trade with other people in a heartbeat. I do sports. I’m interested in insects and study them a lot. One of my favorites is the Rosey Maple Moth. I help my parents out with cleaning and cooking. I go out with friends. Track is the sport I do, and I’m in distance. I’m living my life right now, but I can still acknowledge my problems too while also making the most out of it instead of putting on a victim blaming mindset. I would wanna trade my voice for another one that works perfectly fine, but every person has a problem. I taught myself that it doesn’t matter worse or better, every problem is a problem. I wouldn’t want a lisp just because it’s “better” than having a stutter, because it would still be a problem regardless of “who has it worse” And I never said that people who have it worse give me the ick, you’re flipping around my words now. I said that people who try to use other people’s problems as a way to degrade and bring down other problems because they refuse to deal with theirs. For example: “You may have gotten your arm cut off brutally but be grateful you still have one of your arms! A lot of people would trade to be in your place, so you should stop complaining about not having one arm and be thinking about the people who don’t have both of their arms!” A problem is a problem, and that’s that. You can still life your lift while dealing with the hardships. It isn’t as “simple” as you make it out to be. I’m outgoing, I give presentations, I talk to others, I live my life but even then I know my stutter will always be a problem in my life no matter what, and that feeling sticks with you, no matter what you do. I’m still able to live my life though. I tell people to think about what they have but to also acknowledge the hardships in their life, because there should be a balance.
