Im 18 and ive been stuttering since i was 5.My stutter is not that bad so i would never really tell ppl i stutter unless i felt like i could open up to them so alot of my friends didnt even know that i stutter. Over the years ive learnt that my fear of stuttering prevented me from living my life so one day i decided to embrace and say whatever i wanted even if i stuttered. You gotta remember that fluency is one part of speech and theres so many other things that you should focus on instead of being fluent. Things will get better and trust me once you start realising that you have a voice that deserves to be heard you will be able to narrate stories with confidence and be able to crack jokes with ease.
