Thats true brother. Our curse is every day we gotta fight until we die..the other option is becoming a wierd hermit that hides from life. Ive gone thru these introvert phases before & they come back once in awhile. Speech therapy hasnt helped me, because I have a imbeded fear or stress response everytime I speak I tense up automatically from trauma/embarrassment at a young age. I'm just waiting for a drug that comes out & can help us in some way....at 30 I just think about how much potential I had as a goodlooking smart young man that my damn stuttering never let blossom. It hurts to think about sometimes.
