Stuttering has increased my vocabulary

Stuttering has increased my vocabulary I’ve been stuttering for my whole life, I’m 20 now. Whenever I feel I am unable to say a word or phrase, I rephrase and use different words and it usually helps. I know this isn’t helpful and only detrimental in the long run, and it’s apparent whenever topic of discussion centers around me or where I live- those are 2 things I cannot reword. There are so many endeavors I want to pursue while I am still in college, but I am afraid my stutter will ruin anything I decide to try. I am afraid of applying to jobs/internships because of interviews, I am afraid of approaching any stranger unless I’m intoxicated and my stutter goes away, and I’m afraid of prolonged dialogue in front of people I am only acquainted with. I want to kick this part of me so I can do more and experience more but I just don’t know where to start. I feel like a big part of my life is missing due to my lack of social skills and confidence.
