I've stuttered since I was a kid, and like you, I think I'm a lot funnier, wittier, and well-spoken over writing than over speech. But I've done a lot better in college. I still stutter, mind you, but I don't care so much any more. Everybody has something, and once you realize that, you will feel so much better. My best friends have had OCD, anxiety, depression, ADD, lisps, and even stutters, too. Just talk. If you stutter, you stutter.
