I had a hard time socializing throughout most of my childhood, especially in Highschool. I was definitely the shy, timid and awkward kid. I tried avoiding any social interaction because of my stutter. I’m almost 25 now and it definitely shaped me into someone that’s more confident despite my stutter, I have gotten a lot of support through my close friends and acceptance that I don’t really let my stutter affect my everyday interaction with people. I’ve gotten a lot better with my stutter now.
