Yeah, some people thought I was secretive and oddly quiet, but others thought the exact opposite, as I would often break the ice and liven up conversations. It depends on the severity of my stutter: sometimes I can barely talk, others I'm almost completely fluent. Strangely enough, I speak better in moments where my fluency is put to the test. It's not always the case, but it happened many times and I'm almost certain it has to do with confidence and self-esteem, which I'm lacking atm.
