My family keeps bugging about speech exercises. I get annoyed when they bring it up. I don't know what to do. I am a stubborn asshole. Most of the time i try to run away from the fact that i stutter. I am not nervous to talk to people but when i start talking about an interesting topic i get too excited and my stutter increases up to 200% My family gets frustrated that i do nothing about it. I get it that they worry about me. It's really easy for people give lecture about doing exercises. Imagine learning to talk again. How annoying is that?!!! Fuuuuuuck. I've tried exercising for two or three days. I saw little to no results. I still stutter on aaaa, eeee and awe sounds. Some people say reading aloud helps. How does it help?? I get really agitated inside when my family keeps nagging me about it. Like i get it you guys are perfect, you can chirp like birds nonstop.
