vent | i hate my stutter I have a really bad stutter wherein i’ll repeat the same word over and over or i just can’t say anything and it’s like something is stopping me from speaking. It’s super annoying because i feel like i’m being annoying because people are waiting for me to finish speaking and i just can’t. I have trouble trying to be more conversational and doing things such as paying or talking to people because of social anxiety or something so the fact that half the time the people i’m trying to talk to can’t even understand me and make me repeat myself makes me want to do those things even less. What’s even worse is that i speak really quickly so i sometimes end up mumbling, so you can imagine how hard it is for someone to understand me when i’m mumbling and stuttering Thank you for reading
