People will pretend like don't know what you're talking about. We all know that the reason we care about stuttering at all is because people made us feel bad about it. They made us feel like it was something we could control. So we tried to control our stuttering without a clue. The only way we could stop was to just block. So here we are. Trying to fix something that we were shamed for, lying to ourselves saying that nobody cares. They care. They don't want you to stutter like you do. They wish you didn't. They will accommodate, but they don't want you to stutter. My answer is...fuck these people. I'm me and that is all I can be.
