...See more Hey there. I'm glad you're here. Sometimes, I feel in the in-between. Between the struggles that matter and those that don't. As if others have it worse. I doubted if I had the "right" to write in this group, create this thread. But I'm here anyways. Worst case scenario, it'll get removed. No big deal. I've had a stutter for as long as I can remember and haven't felt too bad about it. I felt heard. I spoke freely despite some of my words getting caught in my throat. And people listened. But as I get older, I slowly become more and more... mocked. My friends make casual jokes. Teens in the hall scoff as I struggle through a question. Girls in my dance class laugh, surprised that I can't speak as gracefully as I move. I'll admit, some get so creative that I can't help but laugh along with them. It just feels so hopeless when, despite your best efforts to seem normal, a simple slip-up can shatter your self-esteem. I'm glad this post reached you. It means that this post was relevant enough to stay up, and you were curious enough to read this until the end. Props to you. I wish you the best, you really can be wherever you want to be in life. With the right patience and effort, you'll make it. Sending love from the North! ✨🇨🇦
