Does anyone else feel like an extrovert trapped in an introvert/stutterer's body? I just want to be able to tell a funny story at a dinner or engage in conversation at a party without feeling like a freak or getting exhausted because of my blocks. People always mistake me for an introvert but I actually hate being alone and I just want to socialize and say a million things that are in my head and tell stories. And does anyone feel like they'd be a much more interesting person if they didn't stutter
