My stutter is driving me insane. Having normal conversations with people that made 100000 times harder and more awkward. It’s embarrassing as hell and I’m sick of it.

Conversations with most people I have daily are difficult because it’s hard to keep people listening for that long and it’s very awkward to talk to someone the first time as they expect me to have a stutter. It’s so isolating. Ever since I was a kid everyone just to make fun of me for it. I wish I could talk like everyone else.

I’ve lost so many opportunities to my stutter just think about it. I’ll never a telemarketer, (not really a lost) I’ll never be a voice actor, and how many other jobs require you to speak to others?

    Oh man. I feel this so much.

    I lost all my teeth at the end of summer and I now speak with a pronounced lisp. I sound either retarded or flamboyantly gay - neither of which I have a problem with, but they’re not me.

    Ah well. It is what it is.

    Edit: may in fact be retarded. 1/2 ain’t that bad.
