Just need a little insight from others. Currently on the journey trying to better myself, ive been talking despite ofc the stuttering, asking question when i actually need help instead of just trying to figure it out myself. Asking questions about people, furthering the conversation instead of just being the best listener) Working on confidence. Eating healthy, getting sunlight and what not. Im down 10 ish pounds(200 to 190). This all started cause i saw two people sitting on the wall after work talking last weak, i got into my head and damn near had a mental breakdown lol. Ofc those days are still gonna come but im trying to make them less frequent. But just looking for insight from people who stopped letting the stutter control them and any advice they have, To continue this and to not fall back into the cycle. Unrelated related, im usually on my phone at work listening to videos or whatever damn near the entire time cause if im not gonna talk im not gonna sit in silence. but 2 days ago i actually was barely on my phone at all because i was talking with person across from me. Even talking more when playing games instead of just calling out, im having full blown conversations with people.
