Physically unable to speak Hello. I'm a teen who really needs help with overcoming my stuttering. I'm often made fun of for stuttering and I constantly get told that this is just something that I am doing on purpose. Stuttering is such a big insecurity for me and when people laugh at me or tell me this stuff it genuinely hurts. But my stuttering has really gotten worse over the years. I didn't stutter as a kid/toddler so it did come "later" for me. But I have this problem where I PHYSICALLY can't get the word out of my mouth. So for example if I want to say "Johns shoes are nice" I can't get past the first word because the word can't get out of my mouth. I will stand infront of someone/a group of people and when i try to say a sentence I can't say the first word and I make a fool out of myself. It's really hard to explain but it's NOT like the type of stuttering where i will go "e-e-e-example"(i also stutter like this but it's not as bad as my other "type" of stuttering). It's where I will stand in silence for a couple of seconds and try to get the word out if me like "eeee...eeee....eeee...example".It's physically tiring to speak and i often avoid talking because i KNOW that i won't be able to say the sentence. Please, the smallest amount of help/tips will be appreciated!! Im desperate to get over my stuttering but it's hard when people keep making fun of me + my parents don't take it seriously+ i don't know what's wrong. I feel so silly and alone. Also sorry if this post doesn't really make any sense but english is not my first language.
