A Social, antisocial Stammerer. Hello Everyone. I'm 22 and from the UK and am new to Reddit so please bear with me. I've stuttered for as long as I can remember and although I'm fairly 'fluent' and physically stammer very little day to day, it's always on my mind. I love the idea of socialising and spending time out and about with people, I just find it so hard to do. Talking in large groups is always a challenge. Call me a social, anti social stammerer haha. I'm currently trying to apply for speech therapy through the NHS which is turning about to be a bit of a nightmare. If anyone wants to talk and share their experiences, please do feel free to message me. Jack
