I Talk Like a River by Jordan Scott

"Shy in speaking? Wanting to stay quiet? Do you ever stutter? Everyone who stutters, stutters differently"
I'm happy I listened to this story instead of reading it. Hearing the author read it all showed me the struggle that he goes through in talking. Talking is a main part of communication (there are other ways of communicating, I do know this) and is normal to people. So when someone doesn't speak like them the teasing starts.
Which makes that person feel alone and want to hide from the world. But I'm glad his father helped him find something to ease his sadness.
Yes, I do stutter. When I get frustrated having a panic attack in front of someone. I don't mean to, I want to hide and not let anyone worry about me. It's also the same when I'm trying to get through to someone who doesn't listen to me at all. The crying, the gasping for air, and stuttering begins. It's not a fun experience at all, I just want to be heard and get the tough words off my chest.
