Yes yes yes. Happens to me a lot! I feel you.. However, if your friends really care and love you, they wouldn’t give a shit if you took an hour to share a story. Let me tell you something.. Lately my stress have been high due to few situations that happened a week ago, and when that happens my stutter gets worse! For example, if I take 3 minutes to say a sentence, I’d take 5 minutes now. I have been silent about one of my besties and she realized that! When I get home, I send her a long WhatsApp about the thing I wanted to share and she noticed I’ve been doing this for few days now. She asked WHY? I said cause my stutter have been getting worse and I know I won’t be able to say a word, and she asked me to not do this again and TALK when we are together saying that SHE DOES NOT CARE IF I TAKE AGES lol. If not for you, do it for those who are around you. Believe me a lot of people want to listen and it doesn’t matter to them if we stutter too much or have blocks. Take care! You got this.
