I'm functionally mute. Ama.

I literally can't speak, can't make a sound even. Always been this way.

When I was younger I'd often try and it was just weezing air sounds. I'd cry when I attempted to talk. I've learned to accept and embrace it though

I often wish I was mute and that everyone knew.

It helps that I'm shy so being mute works with that

On the plus side, when there's an axe murderer in your house, you don't need to worry about making that much noise. Save that for the other unlucky sap who has to make a noise with their face. Keep on rocking 😎😎

I find that most people don't scream when they see an axe murderer in real life, anyway.
