Finding it hard to make conversation.

Finding it hard to make conversation. So having a stutter has made it hard for me to interact with people and friends especially. It’s like I’m too scared to speak sometimes out of fear of stuttering, that I often just opt to not say anything. I stay silent and wait for someone else to talk. What then happens is that other people carry the conversation for me and I mostly just respond to what they’re saying. I’m more of a listener in general. But, deep down that’s not who I am. I have so much to say and bring to a conversation, but my stutter holds me back from talking. It makes me really sad that I’m like that. Also, I feel like can be a burden to friends because I don’t talk much , they find me boring and a drag to talk to. Do you guys have any advice or tips to overcome this fear of talking ? Or tips about making conversation ?
