Dear u/dhavalr786, normally I don't comment on posts. But I feel you.. It hurts, you feel so alone. I can make a whole paragraph ..no.. a book on how shitty it is. But please try and keep socializing. Distancing yourself from people will make you depressed. I see my stutter more as a fucked up gift which let me play life on hard mode. But also gives me insight in peoples characters. Let me try to explain: - If I stutter on a word and that person laughs at me = he/she is a dick. I'm not going to spend another second on them - If I stutter and see a person trying to 'help' me find the correct word = good person - If I stutter and that person is becoming tired of me trying to finish my sentence = also a dick Stuttering is still making me so anxious, sad, depressed even at some times. But because of the 'method' I created for myself, I surrounded myself with people who accept me for who I am -- with stutter. Which makes me feel good. I hope you can feel a bit of comfort in my words (hope you understand them as well, as English is not my first language). Maybe my comment is no help for you, but please try not to hate yourself.
