My stutter makes me feel like a loser I'm in high school and I struggle with speech blocks. No, I don't get bullied but when I feel like I'm gonna block I say smth else to not block(I don't block very often) like today we where going over everyones name and I felt like blocking so instead I said "my name is..." wich made everyone laugh. A situation like this happens a lot and I hate it. It makes me really angry that ppl look down on me cuz of that. Any tips to feel better?
