Stuttering and Social Anxiety I have been dealing with social anxiety really bad for 11 years. I feel anxious when I see anyone, sometimes even close friends and family. My anxiety causes me to stutter. It’s like pure anxiety when going out too, to the store, etc. It is strange because as a kid I was extremely social. I had humor, made jokes and had no anxiety. I was the type of kid in the principals office because I talked too much. Standing with my nose on the wall, geez. I’m not sure how I developed social anxiety, but I have some ideas. It really is crippling. I remember friends betraying me, secretly dating my ex gf, and treating me like shit. I had a 4 year relationship through college and it was very toxic. I loved her with everything I had though. She cheated on me, said she wished I was dead, sent me pics of her cheating, always fought with me, etc.. I never had good friends and potential friends never stick. This all adds to the trauma of being social and dealing with others. Idk what to do. I’m on medication but it does not work.
