Well yeah could, but I always feel super judged and embarrassed for being a stutterer... I know i shouldn't care, because I can't do much about my stutter, but so many have pointed it out that I stutter, which makes me feel like it's my fault and it's bad to stutter. I don't stutter as much as before because I got my anxiety somewhat under control with meditation. I think a reason I stutter is because of social anxiety and really bad self esteem. I'm working on them both to see if it helps. I just wish I could be a lot more confident and not afraid of speaking.
