Stuttering avoidance I’ve had a huge problem of avoidance my whole life. I’m 32, and it’s still an issue. I always thought by this point in my life, I wouldn’t have so much anxiety about stuttering, but here I am. I avoid the phone like the plague, as well as meeting new people and social situations with people that I don’t have much exposure to. Do any of you have any advice other than just suck it up? I guess that’s all I can expect. Just venting really. Thanks for listening.
