Everyone missing the point here. The stuttering is just the surface level issue. Waking up perfectly fluent tomorrow wouldn't solve this issue. It's the decades of suppressed social skills and emotional connection that makes this so difficult, for me (and seemingly OP) at least. I definitely feel you OP. I've struggled with this myself. I feel like it's slowly getting better, but who knows when I will finally be comfortable opening up and getting to really, truly know someone. Hang in there pal. Feel free to DM if you ever need someone to chat with.
