Obsessing over Speech Hope everyone’s well. I just wanted to come on here and ask if anyone else is going through a similar thing regarding stuttering. I’ve felt like I’ve started to really obsess over my speech. It’s a constant thing that I’m always thinking about after every single sentence no matter who I’m talking to. I believe this is because of having very bad experiences in the past. I also avoid eye contact when I’m speaking to anyone now. I’ve been constantly living in my head and drk how to stop obsessing over it.
