Also a 16 year old stutterer here. The thing I want you to know is that most people (I mean like 99.9999999%) won't care about your stutter and are mature enough to understand. You're your own worst e...

my stutter makes me incredibly nervous speaking to people and I just want it to stop.

my stutter makes me incredibly nervous speaking to people and I just want it to stop. i'm tearing myself up about this. i'm 16 and i've been stuttering for as long as i can remember. i think it's gett...

I guess we're opening a can of worms. It was terrible! I went through a period where I could not communicate with others. It was that bad. Reducing anxiety helped me. I still stutter, but not like I d...

I don't know the answer. It comes and goes with me??? I am sure anxiety plays a role, maybe not the root but exacerbates it. What I do know is anyone today that would discount you b/c of your/our sp...

I can't agree as I'm not an anxious person. I only get anxiety when stuttering and that happens even if I'm having a chill day and I'm comfortable around a person. It just happens....

I think I'm about 50/50? It's hard to say. I'm definitely not completely introverted, though I do like my alone time. I love spending time with my friends and I really enjoy my customer service job (e...

I have a lot more confidence. I like it. I do stupid annoying things at times but I just gotta go with it and not over analyze. Over analyzing is so pointless imo I think I was always an extravert, ...

No, I prefer to be at home spending time by myself. Though, I can be outgoing for small periods of time, but I end of feeling drained pretty quickly. ...

I am. I tried to turn my anxiety into excitement. Kind of a mental thing. Fake it until you make it lol. I try to have fun and stop over analyzing. ...

Ah I see. I'm a bit younger than you, but still recently I have been feeling the pressure that I need to date. I dunno maybe I just shouldn't care....
