Does your stutter primarily come in blocks or repetition of sounds? And if u don’t mind me asking, how severe would you say it is? If you have a few trouble sounds or letters that show up in commonly used words, I’d suggest finding synonymous words that DONT have those sounds, at least til u can build up confidence. And hey, you say four friends like that’s nothing, four good friends is ALL you need. Make sure to confide in them about your impediment if you feel that would help you feel comfortable. Most importantly, don’t beat yourself up over this! It’s something that so many people face and the best thing you can do( in my opinion) is to take it lightly, laugh it off, realize that it’s such a small part of you, and the people in your life tjay care about you despite this are the only ones that truly matter. Dm me if u want to vent or anything:)
