Are you me? I too am 23 and suffered from a stutter my entire life. I also have crippling anxiety that effects every single social interaction I make throughout the day, also a drug addict/alcoholic im not dependent on any drugs/booze currently so I guess I have that going for me. The past few months ive been asking myself if growing up with a stutter had any effect on how anxious I am. Idk, I think so. When you feel you can't communicate in a "normal" way with your peers that has to have its consequences.
