I’m writing this to let you know that you are not alone. I recently visited my relatives and they started asking me about my school/career. There were long pauses between each of my words and I had to my head down while talking to them. I felt embarrassed. But I know that at the end of the day, that person is likely to forget what happened. What has helped me is by telling myself that nobody really remembers or cares too much about you because we all have our own things going on. This has helped me to relief my anxiety, and as a result, periodically reduce my stutter.
