I feel fear and embarassment to just stutter because that is how I have felt my entire life. It's hard to change how you feel about something that has been a part of you your whole life. If I just stutter in front of everyone now, I will feel like they are seeing someone other than who they know. Even though I really am who they see, I sometimes feel that if they knew I was keeping this secret from them, that they would think I was betraying them. I know that is taking it to the extent but it's been so long, I don't know how to stop hiding. It's second nature to me!
