So fucking frustrated pt2. Need advice This was the rant 2-3 days ago. Part 1. This is just a rant. I had to read aloud in front of the class. I stuttered like crazy. Then after a few lines, I began picking up confidence but I was still shaking. From a 8/10 stutter i went to a 4/10. The teacher just said I can't speak properly and I talk like a child. I feel so fucking empty and lost. At the end of the day, I've atleast faced my fears and i spoke properly. The people in my class think I'm stupid or something. I hate this so much. Part 2 :- I have read all the comments. I appreciate all the love and support i have received. Many people were insisting I file a complaint about the teacher. But is that really gonna help? I'll tell her I stammer next week and it's just acceptance at this point. I don't want to be that guy at all However, my mom told to do a couple of things 1. She asked me to accept my stutter and face it with confidence and she said that over-time. It's gonna take years, maybe even 10 years who knows, to come to a good fluency rate. She asked me to speak more and more, in public meetings and in classes, no matter how *bad* i speak. 2. I'm on discord so I'm going ahead and talking with strangers daily in public servers, for safety purposes, in voice chats so I can obviously get a grip of starting a conversation and try to take this in a better way 3. She said she'll look for a good speech therapist and I'll be fixing on one within the next month or so 4. She also said that she'll put me into a toast-masters later into the future for public speaking 5. My dad asked me to read out aloud(ik it doesn't help much, but why don't I just, try it?) everyday for 10 Mins Is this approach good? Is facing *fear* the best way to handle it. Because I'm having sleepless nights about my stutter and I cry during the days and have a lot of anxiety. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this approach, and whether this, is really the best approach there could be? Have a safe day everyone, stay safe and take care!
