Spoke to my best friend about my stutter today Hello everyone, just here to kinda rant-ish. I spoke to my best friend about my stammer today. In the past, if I’m feeling low about it, I just tell her I am feeling low coz of some reason and she just reassured me. But today, I finally said it. And, idk why but I feel weirdly insecure and judged although she didn’t say anything judgemental; she just said ‘ya I know you do.’ But, I’ve always thought that I was super fluent and she wouldn’t have noticed. So, although I feel like a weight has been lifted, I feel more insecure. Any advice would help!
