I feel this so hard. The constant fighting I/We have to do everyday is starting to weigh on me lately. It's got me feeling like "what's the point in saying anything at all?" These days I much prefer to be by myself and enjoy whatever it is I'm doing on my own than to have to continuously battle through social situations. I'm not someone who is short of friends and have a good family too, but I'm just finding spending time with other people to be too mentally exhausting. I keep this side of myself locked away pretty tight so nobody I know really understands how much stuttering affects me.
