My stutter is making me so damn depressed. I'm 16 atm and I've stuttered ever since I was 5. I've never particularly been bullied by it which I find very strange, but I did have good friends who didnt mind that much and made jokes out of it which was always funny to me. However I moved around 2 years ago to a new area which meant a new school and I haven't made a single friend yet because of my stutter. I thought I was pretty ok with not talking to people in school but its just so demoralising. There are so many things I want to say but I'm just too scared because I know I'll stutter and get made fun of. I get so jealous watching people just talk so freely, it makes me feel so out of place which just lowers my self esteem even more. I've also gained a habit of moving when I stutter as it helps cope with it but that just makes it even more laughable to people. Anyone else had a similar experience to this before? I would love to hear it and at least feel a bit more normal :/
