When I look at back my childhood I now see I never spoke to anybody because I was embarrassed of my stutter. I was never bullied bad but I was just to embarrassed to even say a word to people. Because of that I missed out on a lot of fun opportunities to be a kid but I chose to not talk and do my own thing. So I wish I had friends and family members who would help me not be so embarrassed but instead they just mocked me. I’ve always been a super fast talker until I hit a word that I stutter on so I wish I learned to write down my thoughts more and have a dedicated time to just think about my thoughts instead of thinking of random things while trying to talk.
