Help my whole life I've had a stutter, it has gotten better over the years, but it still exists. I just have one big problem, because of my stutter I developed very bad social anxiety. basically, I can't even talk to my teachers for anything. one time my parents and me went to meet my teacher for subject choosing and this teacher kept asking me questions, I struggled to reply because firstly my anxiety and also because I've learnt to speak very quietly (like you could barely hear me speak). now my parents always make fun of my soft and stuttering voice cause at home I talk a little loudly and I don't stutter at home. my parents ask me why I haven't solved my stuttering issue and keep saying that I'm just complaining so now I really don't know how to feel. like in my head I feel like my parents should have tried helping me when I was younger instead of complaining that I don't speak to anyone now, but my parents think that I should have solved it by myself long ago cause it's such a small issue saying that when I'm in college I need to speak to new people. How do I stop stuttering and speaking with a very soft voice. Also how do I get rid of my social anxiety? I really don't know who I can talk to since clearly my parents don't understand that I need more mental help. (I also do suffer with extreme stress and anxiety). My parents think issues like stress, anxiety, and stuttering are all cause I'm overreacting and that they don't exist. They think that I stutter because I'm just scared of my teacher, but I don't feel scared, so I don't understand why I stutter, like literally every teacher who know me always tells my parents that I stutter because I'm scared and hence, I don't talk in class, now I'm just starting to think I'm a fool whose too scared of life.
