So fucking frustrated This is just a rant. I had to read aloud in front of the class. I stuttered like crazy. Then after a few lines, I began picking up confidence but I was still shaking. From a 8/10 stutter i went to a 4/10. The teacher just said I can't speak properly and I talk like a child. I feel so fucking empty and lost. At the end of the day, I've atleast faced my fears and i spoke properly. The people in my class think I'm stupid or something. I hate this so much.
