What else do I need to do in order to prove to myself that I am not inadequate and unworthy of love? I faced the fear of job interviews and overcame it. I faced the fear of starting a new job abroad and speaking in my third language (English) and overcame it. I faced the fear of moving to another country alone and dealing with a foreign culture and overcame it. I even forced myself to attend social gatherings with my colleagues, and had a very good time despite my stutter. Stepping outside of my comfort zone always brought me joy, yet here I am again, thinking I'm pathetic because I'm about to turn 27 and I still stutter, even though I have achieved more than I would ever have thought possible. A part of me knows that I could be so much happier than I am now, but another part of me is so, so exhausted of dealing with the awkwardness that comes with a stutter... I want to meet someone special, but all of a sudden I'm scared again. I'm so tired of this burden.
