I can relate, I’ve always had my stutter and being a bit of an introvert already it didn’t help having a stutter for people to remark about. I’ve slowly gotten better but sometimes I still don’t want to go out and or do certain things because of it. Especially in school, I dreaded any sort of presentation that I had to do and this made me dread coming to school. Although, my high school teachers really exaggerated college because all of my professors so far have been really great with me and after speaking with them about my stutter they tended to not go to me during class and let me interject when I felt comfortable to add my 2 cents. I actually met one of my best friends in one of my first few classes that also has a stutter and we help each other if we start having issues with our stutters. I hope you feel better about your stutter and overtime we all come to terms with it and overcome it.
