Worst is that my old cosmetology teacher said that we are social creatures and that’s what differentiates us between animals. It wasn’t a personal attack to me but very dehumanizing. And my family saying it’s in my head when I stutter everyday/ my mom saying she was embarrassed of me for it when we ran into her coworker who was the bicycle, everyone got a ride. Best is that I have learned to love myself regardless. I’ve had exes make fun of me and learned they aren’t for me and it’s weeded out the bad. My current partner has been so supportive of it and never has had a bad thing to say about it. I don’t judge others on their speech or think they’re less than or dumb because of it.
