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?
James Earl Jones had a stutter during his childhood, and look where he ended up in his life. One of the things I commonly see is that talking and singing use different parts of the brain, so while you may have trouble with a stutter while talking, you may not while singing. That may be something worth looking into.
Does speaking a new language bypass a stutter?
Anecdotal confirmation that singing did wonders for some stuttering folk I met in my life.
