I can relate to that. I don’t ever talk in class unless I’m absolutely forced to or if I have friends. And I only have a few friends at that. I’ve never really been what you would call a “loser”, but the stuttering thing has definitely warped people perceptions of me. People I talk to act differently around me once they’ve seen me stutter my ass off in front of a class. And pretty much everyone knows I have something wrong with me.It’s hard to watch. It really does make everything negative. It’s exhausting. I hope your situation gets better and thank you for sharing this with me! x
