I feel like we're in kinda similar positions I'm 21M and have had a stutter all my life. Also going to med school next year and i gotta say life is fucking hard af. I'm not super rich but we're well off I have a lot of friends and good connections and even with everything I'm grateful to have I can't say a fucking word without blocking. It sucks because on the outside no one would ever know and i feel like im pretty attractive but as soon as I open my mouth it all goes to shit and that's why I also just never approach anyone in person. Idk I hope I help myself one day and stick to a routine and get better. But if I can say one thing is stop living ur life for someone else and feeling sorry for yourself. Life isn't fair but be the hero of ur own story. Say fuck it and keep moving what's in the past stays there now go and do something w ur life and make a name for urself. Haha don't mean that as a bad way also kinda just saying it to trick myself into thinking like that because there's no benefit of bringing urself down. Anyways good luck always here to talk
