Need some advice I don't know how to start but I'll try my best. First of all sorry for my English. I'm a 26 years old male who has a stutter. I've been struggling with this since early childhood and all the time I try to overcome with my stutter. However, it is extremely hard to have a smooth conversation especially when I get excited or stressed. Unfortunately, there were some unpleasant cases where people were making jokes about my speech in front of me and in the similar situation I really don't know what to do, basically what I do is that I keep silent during the conversation, I feel extremely weird, angry about myself and the others and ready to beat those assholes up but I never do it. It has changed my personality a lot, I became an introvert, try to avoid conversation with new people, don't really go outside for fun and I got depressed AF. But, it hurts so much when my friends make jokes at me for example, "... and here we go again", "Oh c'mon say it", "nickname: machinegun" or "Do you stutter when you typing?". I don't even know what to say how to act and because of that I feel terribly disappointed and when I keep silent I have a feeling I am going to explode. ​ I am pretty sure someone has the same experience as me and please, feel free to give some advice. Thank You in advance!
