You described my situation spot on. Spent years hiding away and I'm fucking done. The constant torment in my head really gets to me. I'm 19 and honestly I don't see myself going much further...

Seconded. Take ownership of your stuttering. You do not have to be a victim. The victim mentality is a defeatist mindset. I'm not saying you can flick a switch overnight...but you need to start traini...

Anyone else have those moments where their stutter caused them to opt to remain silent in a particular situation, thus looking like an asshole to everyone else for not having said anything?

The "introvert/extrovert" dichotomy isn't a particularly great measure. We are in numerous ways in numerous situations. There's no real "true" person in it. But yes, we can feel like we're kept from ...

If the lie that stuttering does not hold you back let you sleep easy at night then keep on believing that. Besides that our arguement is totally invalid. Stuttering varies widely from person to person...

This is a defeatist attitude and victim mentality. The hard truth is thinking like this will get you nowhere. You aren't worse off than anybody else. You're simply making excuses for yourself. I had t...

This is such a reductionist view on the experience of others. It's great that you got through your speech impediment but doesn't mean your subjective experience is the subjective experience of others...
