commentr/StutterOctober 8, 2022

Content

I'm 35 years old (female) and have never had a relationship mostly because of my severe stutter. I was bullied hard because of my stutter and I simply cannot trust people to not laugh at me 🤷‍♀️ I have avoidant personality disorder and I'm not willing to take any risk to embarrase myself any more, I already feel constantly embarrased and ashamed of myself and I simply do not trust people (other than my family members)
