A childhood stutter has made me extremely insecure about the way I sound when I speak, even though my stuttering is the lowest it’s been in all my life. I also feel that anyone I talk to doesn’t actually care to hear what I have to say so more often than not I’m mumbling words instead of speaking clearly
Lately I’ve been forcing myself to work past the negative thinking but I’ve noticed that my “flow” is incredibly lacking compared to how everyone else talks to each other. The conversations I’m involved in usually end short and awkwardly, and it makes me feel so bad about myself. Like why in all these years do I still sound abnormal? Is this something my coworkers would pick up on and dislike about me, or does this paranoia only exist in my head?
