Insecurity and stammering I feel like I’ve made my stammer such a big problem in my head that I can barely interact with people. Today I went to my friends house, and there was someone there who asked what my moms name was and I just paused and started calling her coz I know I struggle with vowels. And she started laughing saying that oh you don’t even know your moms name. I’ve just been thinking about my stammer every time I start a conversation. And although I try to control it, it is not helping. Any tips?
