Is it right to keep avoiding speaking? So I'm in senior year of my highschool and since my teachers are very understanding of my stutter this entire year I have avoided all presentations and anything that requires speaking in front of an audience and I don't know how to feel about this, is it right to save myself from the embarrassment and self hate i get after public speaking idk how long will i keep doing this and people say you should face your fear and all but i have done many presentations and all in my previous high school years and it doesn't do any help
