Having SM is hard really hard I think I stopped speakng after going into care so thats been 5 years? Anyways I do only say few words when im comfortable like if im asked a question and im comfortable to answer without writing down or when theres no paper and its not a yes or no question. When different staff heard my voice they just exaggerated like 'thats the first time i heard your voice!' then they said ill get you a reward...just over one word-
Anyways I wish I wasnt like this I wish I could speak freely without being scared and ive moved to 3 schools ive been to 4 but 1st one dont count anyways the 3 schools i moved to no one wanted to be my friend because i never spoke and i dont think ill ever get a friend.
I HATE SM.
I wanna be normal.

i feel you man :-( selective mutism has been kicking my ass since i was in elementary school and now that i wanna work as a tattoo artist (which ofc it involves customer service stuff) i know its gonna be super hard. i only nod or shake my head to answer and some people have made rude comments to me over it irl. i just want you to know that you're not the only one feeling like this and i seriously do hope that eventually you can get over this!! i think SM should be mentioned a lot more in neurodivergent spaces tbh
