M23 Stuttering has made my life somewhat difficult Background: My parents think it’s Broca's aphasia but I’m not 100% sure that’s it. I know in my head what I want to say, but I can’t physically speak. I say um a lot and I can say like 1-3 words fine like someone’s name is easy. I guess it’s long sentences. I can sing just fine without stuttering. I’ve had a stutter maybe freshman year of high school, but all throughout high school, I would be so talkative with my friends(I think, I can’t really remember). I’ve tried speech therapy, but I didn’t do the exercises cause I was probably lazy. Sometime last year, my mom took me to this speech specialist(I forgot the occupation) my mom told him that I usually type on my phone in a notes app to communicate and he approves of that as a tool for me. Now to the title, so stuttering has made my life so difficult. At work(I work retail) my managers and guests don’t mind if I type to communicate but it takes time to type stuff out instead of talking which is much faster. I prefer to text people rather than call because of my stutter. As I’m 23, I’m starting to look for someone to start a relationship with. I like one of my coworkers but I feel like when I type something to her, my words don’t feel natural and genuine since I’m not speaking. I know this isn’t a dating sub but I feel like typing something to show her instead of speaking would kill my chances. I wish I didn’t have this stutter, it would make everything much easier.
