Has your stutter affected your confidence?

Has your stutter affected your confidence? Hi everyone, I'm not officially diagnosed, but I've had trouble speaking clearly for as long as I can remember. I often get stuck on words, and sometimes people can't even understand what I'm trying to say. Growing up, I experienced a lot of teasing and mockery because of how I speak. Over time, this has pretty much destroyed my confidence in talking — even in casual conversations. I can't pronounce clearly. Can't complete a full sentence. There would be times when my mind goes blank and even my voice don't come out. I just don't feel like going out. I wanted to ask: has your stutter impacted your confidence or self-esteem? How do you cope with it or rebuild your confidence? I'd really appreciate hearing from others who’ve gone through something similar. It helps to know I’m not alone in this. Thanks for reading.
