Update on me speaking

I’ve been almost completely mute for about 2 days. At most I’ll say a couple of words, but that’s it. Again I don’t know why perhaps I’m stressed out, but I’ve never been mute this long. Usually, it’s about an hour or 2. Usually, people don’t even notice when I do it, but now there’s no hiding it. My mom thinks I’m upset, and I try to explain to her, but she’s not getting it. I wanted to be on the phone with my friends so I told them in advance. I don’t think they understand. One of them thought I just meant I wanted some time alone, and another tried to relate? Like I’m not being shy. I’m deadass mute I can talk I just won’t I can’t intentionally bring myself to talk. I feel like a child :\

#mute #ever since i got audio overstimulated i haven't really talked and i don't know why #i don't know what to do if it exceeds longer than I'll ask my mom to take me somewhere #there are times when i want to talk i just cant bring myself to do it and it annoys the hell out of me #its literally summer and im at home 24/7 what reason do i have to be mute #my mom thinks im only not talking to her but i haven't talked to anyone #bro i feel like im doing this for attention #shout out to all the mute and nonverbal folks out there its difficult navigating things even at home #im just glad people aren't begging me to talk because that would be torture #this is one of the many things i wish i could get answers for so i don't feel like an outcast #if you have answers please tell me #mutism #selective mutism #situational mutism
