Need advice to get more confidence Hi I'm M23 from Germany. I stutter since 4. I'm very very insecure and have no self esteem about my voice and stutter. I hate my voice, when I hear it, I always think how can people even talk with me? My stutter is also bad, it gets even worse when I'm nervous or talk with new people. I want to change that, so I can speak better, more open don't always think about that and hate myself. So I have a few online friends from the other side of the world I know them multiple years. I want to play with them, games and they want to to talk with me, but so insecure and so scared that they will don't like me, or something even though they say, they don't care, my brain things they still do. What can I do to get more self esteem to do that and then meet them. Yes I wanna meet them next year in person, I'm so nervous just by the thought of talking with them, it scares me. But I really wanna play and talk with them. I hope you can help and maybe we can get friends^^
