I agree with you 100%. My problem is mainly that, since no one at university knows i stutter, i just fear to come out as a stutterer, mild one but one nonetheless. The people that know i do, or at least know that i have some speech problems are ex classmates (for when i had to present stuff or read in class) and very close friends. I tend to hide it and worry about blocks, when all i should do is work on my speech and worry less about what others might think. I know it would be healthier to just be open about it ,and hiding it is way harder stress-wise, but i guess i just did it for so long that it's hard for me to give up on my ways. I had my fair share of good moments too during the years, i get over the bad ones pretty quick. I know i can do everything other non-stutterers do, and i will for sure. My new year goal will surely be working on myself to become more confident, and just throw myself in situations i don't normally like without thinking too much about consequences. Thanks for your answer, and good luck with your life too!
