Thank you for your kind words. I could literally hug you if that was possible (sending virtual hug 🤗) I know analysing won't get me anywhere but I dread the next time an incident similar would arise. I either would get a block or a stutter that will drag on for a good little while leaving me breathless. I agree I have anxiety and self esteem issues. People wouldn't even know most the time but sometimes when I get the slightest bit of anxiety my stutter reappears. Especially when introducing myself. My dad who's no longer in my life was verbally and physically abusive towards me from the age of 5. This lasted a decade and since the abuse started thats exactly when the stutter did too. I don't know whether it's because he hit me too hard or because I was emotionally broken. People see me and think I have the perfect life now as I did ok for myself but really I'm broken inside unfortunately. I'm considering therapy these days
