I’m just out of a 8 month depressive period (it’s been on and off). One thing that i kept getting told was STOP COMPARING YOURSELF and I never listened. I kept on getting depressed because I could see people making friends, chatting to girls, etc etc. I envied people because they could talk normally. I’ve stopped comparing myself, I’ve stopped trying to hide my stutter and now, I’m so much happier. I had my first day at college today and stuttered a couple times. First time was when getting asked my name (the lecturer was going round the class asking everyone) and the other was when getting asked a random question. People were laughing but I realised, what’s the point of getting annoyed. The lecturer was even more awkward than me. He apologized for asking me. But I didn’t care. Honestly, stop caring. Stop comparing. That’s my best advice. I hope you get better soon though 👌🏼
