I totally feel this . I’m a 19F and currently in college and exhaust me that I still have to present and introduce myself in college . I just spent k-12 doing that in order to get points for something and now here I am doing it again in a new environment that I’m not use to. I hate that when I have to introduce myself because i always stutter and unfortunately my name starts with a “Ch” . I feel like I’m starting to regain some power back though a little . Every time I stutter i immediately clarify I stutter . Thankfully I have been blessed with the people I still have in my life because they don’t care at all about my speech . They let me take my time , they don’t just cut me off . You deserve to have people in your life that don’t treat you differently for something none of us can fix. Remember to just breathe and remind yourself that in trying. That sometimes helps for me … if I am stuttering and the person I’m talking to has no patience for what I am saying then they clearly aren’t worth the time . If they cared to listen they wouldn’t be acting as if it was an issue . We got this! We will make it! One day at at time . You’re trying and that’s all the matters
