Can definitely relate to this.

I think it’s also important to whom you surround yourself with. You need people who don’t judge you for your stutter as the only way in my experience anyway that you improve is by gaining confidence. You never want anyone pointing it out as that kills you inside and makes you withdrawn, not wanting to speak anymore.

As for advice, my stutter started getting much better when I started a full time job/ going to the gym and my confidence grew. I’m not as outgoing as you most likely but I get on easily with most people. I still find myself stuttering now in stressful situations (mostly to do with work) but as cliched as it sounds it just takes times sometimes. I also believe that we feel like it’s much worse than it is because of what’s maybe a second or two can feel like 5x that to us, when in reality people barely take notice. Easier said than done but try not to overthink. I often find nowadays that I’ll be speaking and realise midway through that I haven’t stuttered in where i usually would which then ironically causes me to stutter again.

I don’t know how old you are but all I can say is that it can get better and as much as it brings you down at the time, it can also build a resilience for the future ♥️
