Stuttering sucks Im from Greece and you all know that the greek language is kinda hard to learn. Well I have been stuttering for the last 4 years and I cant speak because of that. I was doing online classes and i had to read something and i stuttered like 6 times in one word. There was completely silence. I got so embarrassed and then didn't speak for the rest of the day. I dont know why im writing this but i want to tell it to someone. I have spoken to my mum about my stuttering and she told me to speak slowly. I tried that and it kinda worked. But i cant speak all the time slowly cuz i will look like a psychopath. I often predict occasions in the future that might happen and im thinking " what will i do if i stutter at that time". I dont know why i do that and im "jealous" of my classmates that can speak fluently without stuttering. Im saying it again, I dont know why im writing this. If you have something to tell me ( your opinion etc) i will appreciate it. Thanks
