Anyone else feel like you can’t express yourself at all because of your stutter?

Anyone else feel like you can’t express yourself at all because of your stutter? I can’t say any long sentences without stuttering unless I’ve practiced for a while. That means that whenever I’m with someone or in a group I can’t tell any stories or respond with some witty comebacks or even have proper conversations. Really often that just leads to me being really quiet and withdrawn. But that’s not what I’m like at all! I always have something to say and I really like telling stories and having nice conversations with people but I just can’t do it very often. It feels like I can’t really be myself anywhere other than online or if I’m by myself. Otherwise I’m just a quiet soulless shell of a person. I just can’t be myself without stuttering. I’m forced to stay quiet even though my mind is racing with thoughts waiting to be expressed.
