rant im a 17 year old guy and dont know when my stutter blocks are gonna stop, they arent severe but it drains me from making friends at high school ​ i have already been in speech therapy and i am just not improving, i know i dont have social anxiety but my stutter has been bad since i was a kid, and i dont want to embrace it. id be talking to someone then randomly stop and they'd look at me confused because i have stutter blocks, 3 years in hs and still 0 friends lol. atleast i am thankful i have friends and family i can talk to back home. wish more people knew people can stutter ion diffrerent ways. and my stutter is wierd as hell, i would barely ever stutter to someone i know or a cashier for example, but for example if i was in a group and i wanted to point something out i just couldnt because i can feel the block just building up
