Stuttering came back I’m a 19 year old guy and I had a stutter as a little kid but it went away as I entered middle school. Up until that point I was known as a charismatic, extroverted, easy going person. Stuttering only came back at the end of high school when I turned 18, and it’s been getting worse ever since. I went away to university and completely isolated myself from others by confining myself in a small dorm, because I was very insecure about my speech. I was in a university town I never visited up until then with no one I knew. I made zero friends and went from being a skinny kid to being overweight. I ate my feelings away and gained 40lb of pure fat. I was probably depressed during that time, but a psychiatrist or whoever can have a field day with that. The lack of self respect and self worth probably is a contributing factor to my stutter. I lost all my high school friends pretty much, as speaking and socializing just isn’t fun to me. It’s not fun when you can’t speak properly and it feels so hard when it used to feel natural. I can’t stand it. I started to alienate myself away from extroverted people and aligned/looked up to introverted celebrity figures, and romanticized the idea of being a loner. Now I realize that’s not who I am and I was just seeking an excuse to not have friends or something I don’t even know. I guess part of the reason that I can’t stand stuttering in public as much as other people can is due to the fact that most of my life I didn’t stutter. Secondly, I don’t stutter when I’m by myself and a lot less around my family. So it is very difficult for me to accept that. Part of me is waiting for it to go away again because I know it’s all anxiety. When I’m drinking alcohol I can speak to anyone, when I’m singing a song, reading out loud to myself it’s all verbatim. It’s all fluently coming out of my mouth, and even when I stutter it’s not that severe I’m just so self deprecating. Anyway, I moved back home and am attending university here, is there any advice anyone can give me specifically for my situation? I feel like my stutter should be fixable.
