I'm 20 years old, I stutter a lot and I also suffer from tongue "paralysis" - my tongue gets stuck in a syllable and I have to completely stop talking, relax my tongue and take a deep breath to be able to keep on talking - I've suffering from this all my life, the bullying didn't help much and there was a time in my 10's where I only talked at home with my family. It was hard but eventually I got to the point where I accepted my stuttering, yes sometimes I still get nervous and mad because of it but it's rare now. You eventually get to a point where the people with whom you speak won't care if you stutter or not because it doesn't matter, it doesn't define who you are and it will never define. Yes it sucks to stutter, no one likes it, but, think about it in this way, you have a "unique" thing, your stutter is unique, embrace it, be friends with it and don't let it get you down. One thing I started doing some years ago is repeating the words I mostly say in front of a mirror, that way you're creating a "muscle memory" of those words, it sounds crazy but it works! If you ever need someone to talk to, you can DM me with no problems, I know how it feels to be a teenager who stutters. I only made my first friend when I was 16/17 years old, it's hard to be okay with it but you'll eventually get there, just don't give up! And for the love of your life, if you ever get suicidal, please talk to me, I've been there, I've tried it more than once - unfortunately - it isn't the best option! Stay safe :), love from a random guy from Portugal.
