Any tips on how to be more confident? I guess my self esteem is so low that even my sisters and friends frequently tell me I need more confidence. Having a stutter for all my life has been very overwhelming, I feel like unlike many other aspects in one’s life this speech impediment is unfixable. I am astoundingly socially inept. I’m 21 and have never had a relationship or anything along those lines, never even held hands with a girl. It’s hard to see anyone overlooking my stutter to be honest.
