I have imposter syndrome, both at work and in my relationship.

    I have a mild speech impairment. I don’t stutter on a daily basis but when I’m under heavy stress or when I’m tired I tend to stutter-ish. On top of that I live in a country where I don’t speak in my native language and sometimes I feel self-conscious about small mistakes I make (like using the wrong word or messing up the grammar) which induces the stress response. It’s not a big deal but it makes me crazy when I can’t express my thoughts in public.

      people who shit on people for imperfect language are insecure assholes.

      it’s just as stupid online when people grammar police you for written words.

      I don’t mean to belittle your feelings about it, but I would find that cute af. There are certainly people around you that would feel the same.
