Yeah man, I have tried that and it does help. It’s funny because when I really notice my stuttering has decreased say after a conversation it makes me feel great and I know the consistency of putting myself out there vocally little by little has payed off. But I also get a feeling like “yeah, you did well there but so what, you’re just going to stutter again”. I need to learn to stop being so negative. I feel like if I had the time and the right tools, I could overcome my stutter. I can speak fluently when I’m by myself and talk slowly.. even over certain words such as ones that begin with B, D, and G that I stutter badly over. But you’re right.. what else can I do? I think the isolation hits hard as I’ve never spoken to my friends about it. When I’m older I will.. but not right now. I’m 21, we’re all young and having fun you know? I don’t wanna be the “stutterer” of the group whilst I’m still young.. I know that sounds dumb but, I don’t know.
