Does anyone feel like their stutter makes them blurt out the wrong words? My stutter got worse after I was 12-13 I guess, I’m 24 right now. I feel lately whenever someone asks me something, I’m just so anxious to reply quick and not stutter that I fail to give them a quality answer like for e.g a relative asked me how the wildfires in Australia are and I just said they’re called wildfires because they’re too intense to put out and he just gave me the dumb look, I would never say something so dumb like this ever, I don’t know what’s in my fucking head! Does this happen with anyone else or is it just me? Sorry for the long rant, just wanted to get this off my head!
