Man that last line hit hard. I feel like I’m at the age where I’m a “man” and not a “boy”. Being insecure and scared for what I was given isn’t gonna help me any. If I act weird and scared because of it people are gonna see me as such and think I’m weird. If I own it and have confidence then I feel a lot less people will care For instance at work today I was running a register and took a break. Someone else had to cover me. When I get back she was joking with me and I was joking back. I stuttered a bit but I just acted like it was nothing and continued to joke and laugh and be stupid with her and she didn’t care. If I carry myself as I don’t care and let myself stutter, people will treat me the same. It’s when I let it get the best of me to the point where I don’t talk or joke with others
