Just want a brake man... I feel like if I never started stuttering I will be the most confident funny guy. Like at school when we have to present something I shake because of stress, but if I didn't stutter I would actually be looking forward to it. Honesty I admire people who talk and talk and talk on TV or in public. One day I want to be just like them... I don't stutter my whole life just like since I was 3 and still I don't know why. Also I feel like if I sort of forget that I stutter would probably stop my stuttering, but every fucking day I say to myself "what if I stutter" what if I this, what if I that, It's all in my head always was, I'm fighting with myself every day... I have some techniques but sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. Depends on weather I guess idk.
