You stutter, I stutter, a lot of people stutter, if 99% of people around you stuttered you wouldn't care, it's the fact most people don't that makes you feel insecure and awkward when you do, I can't wave a wand to not make you insecure when you stutter, I can only tell you you've been dealt heavy cards, you can either live it as normal as possible or be bothered by it. Here are some real life examples, growing up there was another stutterer in school, even though his was worse, he consistently stuttered and didn't care and even cracked jokes, people were ready to laugh whenever he got anywhere, compared to me back then who was afraid to say a single word, who do you think people would scrutinize less? I'm not saying aim to be a people pleaser, it's just if you let it bother you to the point people know it does then you become a target. You aren't any less of a human being for not having perfect speech just as anyone else isn't less of a human being for bad eyes, poor skin, etc.. I want you to be more talkative, more outgoing, read outloud, sing your favourite songs 24/7 365 and be as unbothered as possible because at the end of the day life is really really short, you don't want to be the grumpy old person angry they cared too much what people thought of them when they were younger.
