worries for the future hi, its me again and the title says it all. today i humiliated myself again by almost stuttering (more like, staying silent because i felt a stutter coming on) while ordering bubble tea. the guy at the counter looked at me with so much annoyance i couldnt shake it from my head. its currently 2.46am in my country and my late night thoughts drifted off to my future. a vast majority of the jobs out there require a lot human interaction, and im worried that i would have a hard time doing so because of my stutter. i do acknowledge that there are jobs that require little to no human interaction but, call me materialistic all u want, the pay isnt really that good. i live in a country where everything (i kid u not, and the prices are rising as the years go by) is expensive so money is really the thing thats on everyone's minds when they find jobs. i just needed to get this of my chest, i almost cried at the thought of not being able to find a job or sustain in a job because of my speech impediment. some additional information that i hope some of yall can relate to: i used to be an extrovert when my stutter wasnt really that serious but as i grew older (more specifically, once i reached 16 years old), my stutter got worse. i think its because of the pandemic when my country went into lockdown for a month or so. ever since, my stutter became worse and i lost all confidence in myself. i turned into an extrovert with social anxiety??? i noticed that my social anxiety stemmed from stuttering itself, if it werent for my speech impediment, i would have been the loudest (and most confident) extrovert ever. i really hate this.
