You're only confident because you "don't care about other people's feedback", you've trained yourself to not give a shit. I don't want to live my life where I'm deluded (no offense) that public opinion of me doesn't matter. People's opinions of you matter whether you like it or not, it reflects on how they'll treat you. A person who doesn't stutter could say "oh stuttering is empowering" and don't actually believe it. Gotta accept reality man, I'm 17 and I'm already on track to self isolation forever. I'm scared of judgement.
