I can relate so heavily as a fellow young man not that life ever went that well for me as I always had noticeably frequent speech blocks but I had(still have a few) friends I rarely had awkward moments around. This past year it worsened from a 6/10 to 3/10 I sometimes awkwardly move to get it out more often than I ever had to. It's a tough, lonely world that's certainly not for the weak. My DMs are open. If you wanna talk about it, I'd love to listen
