Hello, thanks for the response, why do you consider that your stuttering is not driven by anxiety? Do you stutter when you talk to yourself? or why? thank you...

I've been a professional SE for 18 years. Even though the job is typically associated with introverted, anti-social people, there is a lot of verbal communication I need to do in order to do my job. ...
