Need to just vent about stuttering I’ve always thought that if I didn’t have a stutter there are so many things I would be able to do or try. If I wanted to try acting I would never be able to make it. Any job where I have to talk to people is a no because if I stutter then people won’t take me seriously or will just think I don’t know what to say. But the problem is I always know exactly what I want to say. I feel like when I stutter in front of other people I just pretend that I either forgot what I was saying or I laugh it off. I know other people have it worse and stutter all the time, but mine really just happens in situations where I’m thinking about the fact that I’m going to have to talk (speeches, drive thrus)
