Other people reaction It sucks when we stutter in front of someone. They make silly joke´s, think we forgot our name, look us with a weird expression. I heard a history of someone thinking a PWS was retarded. All of the above are opinions on a negative ground. ¿But is it really that way? We stutter´s sure look it that way. Because at least a couple of time it has been like that. Specially growing up. But there are some that don´t. It is crazy to think that every human being reacts to a blocking situation by making fun. Some are understanding; some dont even care. There relies my first point; we believe that every person is aim to make fun or mock us when is just not true. If we are specting the laugh, we will traing our mind to block to fulfil our prophecy. My second point is a little more controversial. ¿What would feel to be the other person? ¿How you would react if you were not a stutter but facing a PWS on a live conversation? It is easy to say you would be understandable because you know all the struggle we been through. But most people don´t. When we stutter we feel uncomfortable. When the other people see us uncomfortable they begin to feel uncomfortable themself. Hence their strong and negative reaction (some). If they have not meet another stutter before or don´t have basic knowledge it is very strange to ask a name and the person does not know the answer. Or being on the middle of a conversation and suddenly the communication stops. I´m not trying to defend the other people. I´m a stutter myself so I am team stutter. I could not care less about the other. But I feel we have a strong hate towards the other person (for valid reasons) that are not supportive to ourself. Bottom line is this: Do not take it personal. People are just reacting to the experience and how they are as a human being. No one is laughing. They don´t care about us. They care about themself. I said this because I feel like everytime I take it personal the stuttering wins. In someway I re-enforce the stuttering indentity. If one day someone make fun of me because I stutter and I can laugh at myself, I would feel like I have a poweful weapon. Better yet a poweful armor. It says that I do not give that much of importance to my problems so they become less of a problem. It says I don´t take it personal because I undestand people react their own way. Is on them not on me. Long post. I just like too write my own ideas. Really don´t mind the reading or aproval. If you come this far all the love for you. I hope life bless you big time. Take care.
