Content

I checked with my school and my school does not offer speech therapy:( I will have to find one through my insurance. My stutter has to do with “head game” as well. I block up when I meet new people or when I overthink about a situation where I blocked so hard. I feel like I can still get along well with people because they understand my stutter. One thing that is bothering me the most these days is my lack of social skills. Since I used to hide my stutter, I feel like I didn’t get the chance the gain social skills by going out and exploring. When I hear interviews of people with stutters online, they r still able to joke around and have a fun conversation. I focused too much on my stutter growing up and I didn’t really focus on improving my social skills.
