is it weird when people talk about ur stutter? hey! I'm 18(F). I've been antisocial throughout my school life because of my stutter. but now, In college there seems to be no option to continue being anti social. there are so many clubs and communities that I am required to be a part of. it's very weird for me to suddenly start talking to people but I still am trying. but obviously when I talk people do get to know about my stutter and they just dont know how to deal with it I guess. it's so clear that they wanna ask me about it but they don't want me to feel uncomfortable. how should I approach such situations? honestly I am not in a good place mentally rn but I dont want people to feel uncomfortable around me. how can i make things easier for them?
