Now that I’ve acknowledged my stutter it seems worse
Content
Now that I’ve acknowledged my stutter it seems worse I’ve stuttered since I was a kid but never really thought about it because lots of little kids do. Now I’m a teenager and pretty much no body else does it anymore. I wouldn’t say it’s severe, it’s more like repeating words or starts of words multiple times or saying um/urr or hesitating between words and sometimes just not being able to get words out. Now that I’ve acknowledged that I do have a stutter, I can’t help but focus on it when I do it and I think that makes it worse. Is there a way to just ignore it so I don’t make it any worse than it is.
