How do I stop giving a 💩 about the fear of stuttering in public and just live my fcking life normally? ⭕️I don't have a severe stutter by any means I get my words I can state my point but sometimes my words get a bit jumbled up maybe it's a breathing technique issue / just hype myself up for no fckin reason lmao. ⭕️But anyways back to the point how do I stop giving a flying 💩 about this bs. Like for example let's say I walk into a public business e.g. opticians I want to ask a question I start fckin visualising myself stuttering in front of the receptionist, also sometimes I avoid social confrontations due to this AND I NEVER had this issue Like 2 years ago and before I would talk and would love using my voice I need to get back to my old self. ⭕️Yes I did a work a stressful job for 2 years which made me depressed but I left it earlier this month and may have contributed to it but it can't be an excuse now! ⭕️I'm starting Uni this Sept and I want to have the time of my life mingle with everyone, get into decent convos with girls and not worry about stuttering etc ⭕️Any advice to get over this mental cloud and to have the 'fck it mentality' would be greatly appreciated had to get this off my chest and I am up for whatever it takes. Hate making a post like this but something needs to be done💯💯💯💪
