Does anybody else not remember bad memories related to their stutter from when they were younger? I have a stutter since I'm like 5-6 but honestly I barely remember any bad situations like someone making fun of me (and it for sure happened). It's like if my brain flushes out bad memories to protect me? When I took edibles recently, out of nowhere I reminded myself some really sad situations (my then best friend and his older sister mimicking the way I talk, some kid saying that I'm unable to talk and many more). It was buried so deep in my memory but now I remember it vividly. When I think of my 10yo self, I don't remeber anything related to my speech (only a couple single situations). It's like if that part of me was never there.
