The paradox of choice "Just throw away your fear bro" let's say I talk to my family whenever I want, I don't hold back anything and I stutter regardless. This seems good to y'all right? But what if I do that while being scared shitless and having tons of anxiety everytime. Y'all might assume that the more I talk the less I'm scared but no. I hate stuttering and if I stutter even a lil bit I get pissed off. Would my efforts go to waste if my "heart" isn't in it? "You gotta truly believe yourself bro". Like the fuck? I have no hope in my stuttering going away no matter what I do. It's one of those "damned if I do, and damned if I don't" type of situations. "Just take a leap bro you gotta trust the process bro" 😂 not tryna be negative but I think I'm a scared little bitch and I'm just coping my ass off. No wonder I hate myself. I use to blame God and I still do to a certain extent but I'm more pissed at myself for being such a stubborn lil shit.
