How can I face it? I do but I get the same weird responses. People make weird faces or speak or answer back in a weird tone. It makes me different and to me it makes myself say handicapped or disabled. I don't want to be seen as different or weird or strange. Okay how can I stop caring when to me, it means everything or it's holding me back from being who I want to be? Example, I want to be outgoing -> easier to make more friends. Can't bc of my speech. Want to get a good job at a nice company (involves mult interviews and working in teams or group presenting) How can I do this? I don't want to be seen as someone or something people need to adjust or fix to work around and yeah I know no one really cares since they care about themselves but it's really holding me back. I think it's mostly form the past reactions I've gotten that has made me who I am today. Scared to go out scared to order food scared to talk on the phone scared to do interviews. Don't want to admit or disclose it D:
