For Those Who Developed Anxiety From Stuttering, Do You Get the Angry Face Symptom? Hello everyone, I wanted to get some inputs on anxiety caused by stuttering. I have been dwelling about this for too long. I developed severe anxiety as a result of living with my stutter for too long. I think to myself that if I can get myself to not be nervous, it won't be a big deal, but oh man the symptoms are rough. My anxiety kicks in whenever I'm around people. My mind starts racing with thoughts, and I start to develop physiological symptoms. The thing that bothers me the most about it is that I tend to make angry facial expression when I'm anxious. I know my face looks angry while I'm having my anxiety episode because no one besides someone who knows me approaches me while I'm feeling anxious. This is such a big problem for me because it's hard for me to form relationships. It seems like others perceive me as a person who is not welcoming and who refuses to associate with people. This is not the case because my intentions are to be friends with people. I can feel when my face is angry, which fuels my anxiety more because I start panicking that people are going to see my face and I can't just stop myself from feeling anxious. It is pretty excruciating to be around people with my anxiety. Do you guys deal with this?
