It's tough man, I remember literally screaming at the sky one day just as loud as I could out of frustration and just being tired of it. I lived in a rural area so I guess I wasn't worried about someone calling the police or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbors up the road heard though.Bur I just stopped caring, I was so frustrated, maybe over trying to talk to a girl or something, I don't remember I had just graduated high school I believe. But then, when I just didn't care, I almost stopped stuttering, or was a lot better almost overnight. Now later in life it has come back and gotten better. I'm a bit older now, gonna be 40 this year, I still struggle. Sometimes it is worse than others, but I mostly maintain a good attitude, let people know upfront(that helps a lot) u say that and everyone instantly says, hey it's all good man.) And I work where I talk to new people literally everyday. So I guess my advice is to just stop caring, or at some point I'm sure u will be anyway, and somewhere in that, I think is the answer.
