Don’t ever do that. Don’t stop yourself from speaking because you’re afraid of how others might look at you. If you do that, you’ll end up in my situation, where you won’t be able to say a single word. Every time you open your mouth, nothing will come out, and you’ll be forced to speak in a very low voice or whisper. You see how that’s worse, right? Speak even if you stutter. Words and sentences still come out when you speak normally, so that’s already a good thing for you. Do it for your health, for your own good. When you see a speech therapist, they’ll tell you the same thing: don’t stop yourself from speaking. Speaking will heal you. Go talk to that girl, apologize to her, and explain your situation. If she or other people don’t respect what you’re going through, then don’t get close to them anymore. Stay strong, bro. It’s hard to deal with this at this age. I’m 21 and I’m struggling with it myself. Stay strong.
