The reason I find it hard accepting my stutter, and stuttering around people, is because I feel like it’s not my true authentic self. My severe social anxiety, damaged nervous system is stopping me from communicating fluently. I never feel comfortable around people. I don’t feel like this is just a simple speech problem. I know I am probably not making sense but oh well
