Hello, I'm 21 years old, and I have become really really paranoid. I have a stutter, although I see this as a big problem I am able to hide it very well so nobody notices it, because I believe I don't hide it they will think I am weird. I'm paranoid nobody likes me, my friends never speak to me first and I have to make all the effort all the time. I have trust issues, I don't really trust anyone apart from my parents. I worry that people don't like and look down on me because I haven't ever had a job due to my stuttering. Not many people even know I have a stutter because I am able to hide it so well, but I am basically living in fear someone will notice it. I am trying to stop hiding it but I just can't bring myself to do it. I also feel like the friends I have at the moment would make fun of me behind my back if I stopped hiding my stutter and I'm meant to be going on holiday with them all in about a month. What can I do to stop feeling like this? I HATE feeling like how I do. Please can someone help me.

It's OK I have a stutter too. Just because you are like that doesn't mean you are weird. A lot of people have stutters. The reason you are so paranoid all the time is because you are so worried ab out yourself compared to others you can't stop worrying. You just stop trusting everyone around you. To stop feeling like this realize that you are normal. Get a job you really want. And learn to love yourself completely.
