How to feel more comfortable with stuttering? I have come to the awareness that my stuttering likely won’t be going away any time soon and it’s just going to become apart of me. However, no matter how many “stuttering accomplishments” I have made I still feel extremely anxious when I have to interact socially. I think my stuttering or at least FEAR of stuttering has improved a bit as I’m willing to order my own food now. But I just feel extremely anxious of being laughed at for my stuttering, especially because school is coming. I haven’t experienced people targeting me for my stuttering and my friends are very supportive. However, I just feel a burden that when I speak they will know I’m not fluent; therefore automatically thinking less of me. I don’t really care how people think of me but I just don’t want to experience bullying and I’m extremely thankful that hasn’t been an issue? Sorry this is kind of a vent. Not really sure how to feel. Also I only really stuttering in the beginning of a sentence when I have to introduce myself, and then it’s like blocking here and there. I think mine is more psychological but I’m just overwhelmed it’s hard living with a stutter.
