Rant Hi im 18 and im about to go to university in 2021 afteer a gap year. since i was 11 my stutter has really put a holt on my life in the fact that i have held myself back on many occasions in my life. When entering highschool doing simple things as talking to someone new or asking the teacher something was the biggest challenge i could face. Also answering questions in class are very hard becasue of teh fright of just stuttering in front of the whole class and getting made fun off. I have a small group of friends in which i stutter at times but ive become so close with them that we dont even pay attention of it and i even make a joke of it. I am also jobless as i just have the fear of getting a job since i would have to talk to people and stuttering would be just a big obstacle. Something i find very weird is that with my family i find my self stuttering or getting blocks quite a lot and i feel quite uncomfortable talking to them as they either seem impacient or give shitty advice like to slow down in which ive heard that phrase like a million times. I'm just making this post to see if theres anyone who relates with me and would like to talk on a deeper level with me to allow me to understand my stutter more.
