Somebody already figured out what horror thing could have happened to us in childhood to became this fearful of talking? This is a genuine question really. I'm thinking about my stuttering and how this have shaped all my life experience? What could have happened to me and all this people with a stutter to be this afraid of talking? Sometimes I don't really get it. This consumes most of our energy, it's like a prison imposed by ourselves but very hard to escape. It's terrifying how subconsciouly ingrained this condition is in most of us. Like how? When all of this happened? Prolly I will never be the real ME ever but just this self conscious bag that try to be human everyday that is waiting for that day when some magic happens and I can be human again.
