What helped me with socializing Is realizing, am I nervous because I’m genuinely scared of socializing, or am I nervous of stuttering? I feel like I’m naturally very pleased with socializing if I never had a stutter and I’ve also realized from being really hyper as a kid is that when I’m talking to myself or singing lyrics to myself, my stutter is 99% gone, so if I put those 2 pieces together: I’m only nervous of stuttering + I’ve proven to myself countless times that my brain and body is completely capable of being stutter free, I kinda just throw myself out there relying on the fact that it’s entirely possible I could go the whole night without stuttering, and I really want to have fun cuz I actually like spending time with people so I’m just gonna hope for the good ending, and I’m usually just fine. This type of confidence took around 13 years straight of battling social interactions it so don’t get discouraged
