I feel like a failure I had my last college presentation today. I started studying since last week to try to do a great presentation once I started I couldn’t even talk and started stuttering. I feel like a failure and I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to try to get speech therapy because I don’t want to continue like this. I can talk with regular people and don’t stutter but once I’m in front of everyone it gets to me. I hate this.
