Yeah, it's the same for me, i have turned into silent person because of this, but we shouldn't stop talking even tho we have such problem, you probably wondering how can we get rid of this, it's hard, very hard, basically stutter is not something that happens to us, it's something that we do by ourselves, it's our habit to think about it, but we should stop to do it, how? Good question, personally, i talk with close people, with which I don't stutter much, than i am trying to talk with other people, do you stutter when you talk to close people? Parents, friends, gf, etc
