It used to, then I sought therapy and eventually learned that people didn't care. If I wanted something, I had to go and get it. I powered through blocks and negative thoughts and only focused on acheiving the goal, whatever it was. I'm having a rough time currently, but I try not to deny me anything if it makes me happy, and... Well, despite my stutter I am a social person and I like connecting with strangers. It doesn't always go well, but hey, life's about failing and moving on.
