I read this post twice. I can say that this is one of finest post ever written here. I totally agree with you. "All of these are the symptoms of a strong emotion: a deeply rooted fear. The fear of what could happen if I failed, what other people might think of me." - This is the root of our fear. What will happen if I fail? What will people think of me when they'll see that I stutter? And when this no longer disturbs us, I believe we will have more fulfilled and happy life.
