I feel frustrated that I have to work so hard to overcome something that 99% of people don't deal with I hate to sound overdramatic and feel bad for myself lol, but does anyone else get how I feel?! I don't know, maybe I've just had a tough week or something, but this is how I've been feeling for days now. I just don't know what I did to deserve to speak this way. It feels like a prison sentence most days. I know people have worse problems, but I just hate that speaking and socializing is so uncomfortable and draining. Idk, I just feel like it's a big obstacle for me in life and just needed to vent a bit. I'll do more speech practice with others on this sub soon and maybe that will help me at least feel a bit better, but I'm just frustrated today. Thanks for reading. I promise I'm not normally this negative lol.
