Is forcing my way through my stutter during public speaking situations a good idea? **Hi** all, im 16 m and and high school. I always find that I want to speak up during class or answer a question for which I know the answer, but lately my stutter's been getting worse, and im having trouble saying even simple words to the teacher and such. My question is, with the immense amount of anxiety that comes from forcing to speak up and having to deal with that crippling and absolutely debilitating self-loathing phase, is it worth forcing yourself. Alot of self help books and advocates always propound facing your fears, and Ive been doing that for the past 2 years, doing MUNS and public speaking events, but i still get all of the same side effects of speaking up that i did back then, even more so now in my opinion since im now more self aware of my speech. Any and all opinions will be much appreciated. ***Cheers!***
