this is a crisis , like really. i stuttered my whole life , but recently it is getting so much worse. i'am a 19 year old boy who is starting university and more responsibilities are in the way. i realized that i have never ordered food by phone , i never called to ask about any service or information although i really needed to know it. i remember when i once wanted to learn a musical instrument so badly but i had to make a phone call , so i discarded the whole idea right away, i want to work now to earn some money for myself but all the jobs i could found needed me to talk , so i'am still sitting here doing nothing. i realized i missed a two year chance to talk to my crush but couldn't. i realized i never bought a specific book i want because i can't say its name and the only thing i can do is to pick it when i find it in the store. i realized that i'am so lonely and have no friends at all. i tried a lot to speak , but it is just so freaking terrifying. i think i'am too incompetent for life. help me
