Awkward asf So life is good lately (since i stopped caring about lots of things) I accepted my stutter and since then I started to be able to handle small conversations pretty well ofc sometimes I stutter However I got a problem because of my stutter I afraid of social places like college so I make this random and awkward eye contacts (not the normal ones but like me seeing a person so he moves his eye at me so i turn my head the other way and then i check if he still looking or no so i look again at him to find out he's just staring at me thinking what the hell wrong with me) I mean it's dumb i know 😂 but I will appreciate any tips on how not to be socially awkward
