I Stutter

Small talk is one of the scariest things in my life

I'm sorry...that must play into the shyness you mention in your "About Me"...communication can be hard enough without such difficulties.

Have you seen the movie, The King's Speech??

I'm sorry that's so scary. I hope you still engage. I know you have amazing thoughts and beliefs that people need to hear!

small talk the first time is fine, its the second time that freaks me out. Its the second time that they are going to find out that I'm really boring.
@curvie1 Oh please do not think this...I hated small talk, but it is a social lubricant which can start interactions or bridge between more important/substantive conversations, etc.

Did you try seeing a speach therapist? 🙂

Yes, exactly.

@Sambriggs96 I hope you manage to get rid of the last bit too. In my experience, people don't mind too much if it's mild. 😁

Thanks :)

I'm also a stutterer. It's actually gotten a bit worse, it seems, the last year or so. It's one of the reasons I find online so much better.

Let's talk big, then.
Sambriggs96 · 26-30, F
how big?

@Sambriggs96 I don't know, I didn't think that far.

I think I stumbled on my words I don’t prepare it in my head sometimes so I don’t look like I’m a fool

@Anonymouslyyours86 It's a mental struggle more than anything
