if they are are genuinely your friends, highly likely they do not consider your stutter to be a bother. either they aren’t good friends/human beings or your insecurity has crafted a bit of a false sense of what you feel your friends think of you. i’ve had to fight back against allowing my insecurities to get the better of me my whole life. with 1-2 positive relationships, you will gain that confidence rapidly. stay at it. don’t give up. your friends may even cherish you for all the compassion, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness you bring to the friendship table. that stems from your life path as a stutterer. truly. be good to yourself 🤙🏼
