Sometimes I feel as if I can never actually talk to anybody because I either get ignored or people tell me to basically shut up. :(

Or when I can talk to people, I'm too shy and anxious so I stay quiet instead...

And I stutter slightly when I'm nervous so that doesn't help either. And I always get told that my voice sounds funny and weird so I get self conscious about that too.

I want to talk more confidently and things but then I end up staying quiet and making up conversations in my head.

That's why I find texting much easier than calls too because I can actually think of what to say more easily when otherwise I'd sit in hesitated silence .
