The embarrassment, shame and hatred of my stuttered speech; along with feeling inferior to everyone else because of my impediment. The thought that I would never be able to be successful at anything. The feeling of being absolutely alone. Yeah, I know that millions of others PWS shared my feelings, but we all react differently. A lot of that is dependent on one's home life, and mine wasn't exactly like the Cleavers. And yes, I know countless millions also had troubled childhood; I guess my problems just combined to screw me up royally. I was a C student, and in answer to your last question; no, not really. Figured that no one would be interested in what I had to say. Never thought about just writing for myself.
