Actually, yes, I'm a very extroverted person who loves being around people all the time and large friend groups. However, my stutter led me to develop almost social anxiety, where it is very energy-consuming to be around people, so now being around people is very mentally draining because every sentence feels like it's very heavy and constantly fighting my stutter to hide it as best as I can.
