I always feel inferior because of my stutter causing me massive depression. how do I get over this? Fuck this shit. I know it's true so don't tell me it's a feeling of inferiority, it's a fact that I am automatically percieved as akward shy I can't make jokes or be an extrovert and overall have lesser value then my peers. I try so hard to compensate for this I'm every way but moving into my final gear of college I realize that at this stage my success in the future will also depend on my conversational skills and in that regard I am fucked. Fuck my life I can never be competitive and all my hard work is gonna go to shit. I just want to give up right now, I can't spend the rest of my life living like a recluse not being able to express myself.
