Recent mental strain of my stutter I’m not fully sure why but very recently (only the last couple-few months) my stutter has been on my mind and taunting me for large amounts of my day a lot more than it has for my entire life before, and in situations where I’m not even speaking but around family or friends who are speaking, I’m reminded of my speech then even again, so much I couldn’t say if I wanted to right now, what would my life be if I wasn’t like this, these thoughts I’ve had my whole life like everyone else who stutters but with this multiplier on it recently. this has slowly started to affect me more and with my mood sometimes, wanting to not speak to people anymore or at all in situations or see them at all, etc. I’m not sure if anyone else has/had this similar thing to them though so I’m writing it here since I couldn’t find anything online.
