jasmin: Snape is amazing. I love the snark.
saiskarri: I'm 23 years old now, but I've been dealing with it since I was in elementary school.
Unfortunately, I really don't know how to overcome it. It's always been extremely difficult to explain. But even around friends and family, I've had difficulty actually making the sound come out.
I'm tempted to start carrying around a notebook and writing stuff down for people, but I'm afraid that it will make me look like I'm permanently mute, and then once they find out I do have the ability to talk, it will end badly.
