Seriously considering just giving up. Like another user on this sub said, sometimes I wonder if feeling nothing at all would be better than the constant negative emotions I feel everyday. I'm too scared to try get a job for fear of stuttering and coming off as a retard to a potential employer. I can barely order things at restaurants because I can't say half the shit on the menu. Not being able to express myself through speech is such a painful feeling that non stutterers couldn't possibly understand. I'm 17 currently and have a good group of friends at school but I can tell my stutter causes them discomfort at times. I actually feel that life just isn't worth living at this point, a lot of the time I will just think about everything that other people can do that I can't and it just makes we want to cry, I know that I will probably never have a girlfriend or a job. Does anybody else constantly feel like just giving up on life?
