Does anyone try to mask their stutter? I'm 15 and I suffer from stuttering, had trouble with it since I was about 10, I had it when I was 5 but it went away for a couple years and than it came back when I was 10, it's made it very difficult to socialize and interact with my peers, my parents think it's gotten better but it hasn't, I've just gotten a little better at hiding it, whenever I talk I have to put alot of mental strength into it, and by the time school is over I'm so exhausted because I had to put alot of strength into something that comes naturally to most people, and sometimes I'm not always able to hide my stuttering, there will be times where the mask will slip off and I've just start stuttering around people, it's so fucking embarrassing man because it's like why did I have to be the one with deficient speech? out of everybody else it just chose me, I fucking hate being like this, it's the reason why I don't go out with family and socialize or talk to girls, I've been in a couple different speech therapists and it didn't do shit for me, I still stutter even when I try the techniques, i really wish they had some kind of medical treatment for stuttering, like a pill I could take daily or some kind of speech hearing aid that tricks your brain into talking normally. I'm probably never going to a get a girlfriend, get my first kiss or lose my virginity due to this atrocious problem. It makes me jealous seeing my friends with their girlfriends or talking about how they had sex, I honestly don't know what I did wrong for my life to be fucked up like this.
