Feeling Very Insecure Hello everyone! I have had a stutter since a very young age, but now I feel like it’s kind of become the centre of my life. Or I have made it that. I think about it all day everyday; before I talk on the phone, or meet some friends or go to dinners. I have become very socially awkward as a result of ti. Usually I don’t stutter with my best friend, but yesterday I stuttered so much with her and I felt like shit. Coz I just couldn’t get my thoughts out. I feel low and don’t really know how I’m gonna get over it. Coz now she knows I have a stammers too. Any tips on acceptance or just being more secure?
