I really feel this a lot OP. Like somebody else has said, I'm also quite afraid for my future as any & all interviews just.. end up with my stuttering on overdrive for no reason. Same with friendships & relationships; my existing friends all know I stutter and embrace it, but there's still the awkwardish feeling if it's extremely present for some reason. And relationships? Who wants to be with somebody who can't even speak to them properly :/ My biggest enemy at the moment are blocks though. On an average day, you might never know I stutter, or just notice the odd pause or whatnot which literally everyone does. Other days, or particularly most phone calls, I can barely string together a coherent sentence and it *absolutely* kills me inside. What's annoying though is that I don't even have a repetition type of stutter, I have severe blocks in my speech. Whether it's stringing together words at a reasonable pace, or just being completely unable to say most words beginning with certain letters (B & D are my banes for speech). I was looking at new places to live and the specific road in question began with a B. For the life of me I couldn't even say the road at all to my family as the 'B' sound just wouldn't come out at all. Wrote that option off entirely :(
