Extrovert! I haven't let my stutter get the better of me, yet. Always been an outgoing person, but I know how you feel. I've had phases where I keep to myself because I become more conscious of my stutter, but it's usually a phase which gets over eventually. Interesting to note that whenever I put myself out there in situations where I need to speak to more people, I end up forgetting about my stutter and become fluent. But if I keep to myself and avoid interacting with people, the anxiety builds up and the stutter gets worse. I suggest that if you feel like going out, and talking to people, do not let your stutter hold you back. Go do it. It might seem tough but trust me, it feels great to not let your stutter get the better of you Goodluck /u/ihtmra
