I’m 28 years old. I live in the US. We are in the same exact boat I feel like, except my stutter started from a young age. I use to intentionally fail presentations in class, because to me, that was better than speaking in front of people. Now I know this is easier said than done but there comes a point where you need to just accept you. Accept who you are, because if you’re never able to do that you’ll never be content with things. One thing I’m working on is my confidence, I notice when I’m more confident I speak better. There’s so much I can type I feel like. I can sit here forever just writing my experiences trying to give “advice” but I know you have probably thought about everything I’m going to tell you. All I’m going to say is I know how you feel. I know how this is and I can’t stand when people who REALLY don’t stutter come to me and say “I stutter sometimes too” They don’t stutter like we do. It controls out life, our actions, every choice we make. You can do it though. So I guess my only advice is work on your confidence. Before you say something make yourself truly believe you can say it.
