I was raised in Arkansas in the middle of the woods with no contact with any other families until I was in my teens pretty much, I assume this is what led to most of my social difficulties since I never learned how to interact with other people. I’m 20 years old now and every time I meet somebody new they always ask me what country I’m from or how I got my “accent”..
I’ve been to speech therapy and it didn’t do anything, I’m very insecure about my voice so I try to not talk to anybody unless I have to but I really don’t want to live the rest of my life like this.
I feel like things would be easier if I had something specific that I could tell people, like that I have some kind of certain speech impediment or something that’s not developed in my brain. Because currently I basically just tell people that Idk what’s wrong with me and I feel judged every time.
I have other siblings, older and younger, that were raised the same way, but none of them have it anywhere near as bad as I do, so that makes me think that it might be more of an issue with me than it is just how/where I was raised.
I’ve tried to do research on this but I haven’t had any luck, that’s why I’m asking this here. If anybody has any answers or at least can point me to some possible stuff that I can research, I would appreciate it.
