The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been a lifelong stutterer, and when I was young, I experienced some very difficult times.
I used to not stutter any. Oh, I did when I was a kid, I stuttered, I had a bad stutter until I was probably between the second and third grade and a guy got rid of it for me.
I will always have a stutter.
I'm a lifelong stutterer.
I think stutterers are funny. And I know it's rude and politically incorrect to laugh at stutterers. But I think it is okay because I know why they're funny. They make people nervous. People think, when on earth are they going to get the word out, so they start laughing out of their own nervousness.
If you're a kid, it's all you think about if you stutter. Kids can be so mean. My grades suffered. Class participation weighs heavy in grading, and I wouldn't open my mouth to read or talk in front of anyone.
I used to stutter really badly. Everybody thinks it's funny. And it's not funny. It's not.
People don't know. People are ignorant. They feel that if you stutter, then you're slow or whatnot.
I had a stutter 'till... I still do today. I just work on it a lot. I obsess, if you will, with it, but I stuttered throughout my childhood.
The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.
