Thanks for the really nice comment, it is so inspirational. Very well said. I totally agree with the Avoidance behavior, I found that I have almost the all symptoms of Avoidant personality disorder :D. I was also basically forced myself to change my view on my stuttering, otherwise I think I would get into really bad mindset of constant fear and anxiety. It's much better now. I have also mild stutter, but just realize, we are still the lucky guys. There are much severe stutterers than us. It must be much harder to cope with it for them...
