illia Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 I'll go first: I stutter. I guess the reason is genetics, since my mom stutters too. It's not really severe, but it can be quite noticable (by me at least). But anyway, every time I talk and start stuttering I feel really scared of someone making fun of me (even though no-one has ever even pointed out the fact that I stutter except my parents and no-one has ever made fun of me stuttering), but for some reason I always feel like I'm going to get bullied for it so I can feel quite insecure while speaking to someone. When I told my friends (who I had known for years before) that I stutter they were really shocked and surprised. They said they had never noticed that I stutter or had never paid any attention to it (they might have lied though but I trust them) They made me feel better as I started thinking that maybe it's not as noticable as I thought and I just overexaggerated everything. Now I feel a bit more confident but the insecurity itself hasn't gone anywhere yet What about you, ATRL? Do you have such insecurities?
Ger Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 A lot, I laugh when someone describes me as confident, when in the inside, I'm just anxious and nervous as hell. I've realized with the years that I have become good at faking. Anyways, this thread should belong to The Lounge.
Dialamba Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 I don’t know but when I look at some girls even some are 14-16, they look like grown ass women, can do their makeup, dress well etc while I look 16 and I’m too lazy to take care of myself but most of the time is because I’m broke, and can’t buy new clothes and learn to to do my hair and makeup I need a job ASAP.

I’m glad you’re able to mask your stuttering enough that it’s not noticeable, but still not ideal that you are experiencing it. Have you ever seen a speech-language pathologist? I am one!
