Those raised by or involved with narcissists, how are you dealing with your stutter? If my stuttering didn't affect me out of the blue, I'd still be more social. Now I'm introverted as a result of it. **Stuttering caused me a lower self-confidence**. I was perfectly confident before. I suspect my stuttering starting since being too stressed about school and academics, leading me to stutter. I have normal parents and siblings. I have a relatively normal life. To those of you who actually have it worse to the extent of this post. I ask you. How are you going? How do you feel? What do you think of your stuttering? Have you taken any actionable steps to better yourself in this environment? Do you wish you have? Have you came out the other side? Most importantly, is there still any hope for me?
