Need more confidence I have been stuttering for as long as i can remember, and it has been an obstacle in so many different things that I have given up just so I don't have to talk to people. There are times when I stutter more and there are times when its negligible, but its not like its never not there, I haven't figured out what exactly it is that aggravates it. I can speak around some people easily and with others i really have to struggle speaking regardless of whether I have met them before or not, whether they are complete strangers to me or someone I have known for a long time. I don't if its confidence or something else but it is really coming in the way of a lot of things and I would like to overcome it, atleast to the point that it is manageable. I wanna go infront of people, feel confident.
