Did anyone else start stuttering from arguing with a toxic family? I started stuttering in 2018. My family just moved and we moved into an apartment. We used to live in a townhouse and had our bedrooms upstairs. But in an apartment the rooms are usually on the same floor. We have had a toxic relationship for years but it was easier to avoid each other when I could just stay in my room on the second floor and get some privacy. But now that we are physically closer and can barely avoid each other the arguing became more frequent and I usually end up raising my voice because they exaggerate or misconstrue what I'm saying when we disagree and they also would gang up against me and interupt or insult or talk over me so I started talking faster as well to try to get my points across before they usually walk away or I walk away becuase I cant argue with all of them at once. So started to develop a stutter from the stress of our arguing and from talking faster to get my points across while at the same time trying to address what everyone was saying to me. So I would end up replying to one person and then another one says something so I stop mid sentence and start replying to that person. So it just lead to a bunch of stops in my taking style and a lot of brain freezes and anxiety. I don't stutter in public or at work. But when I'm talking to them even when we are not arguing I stutter a lot or when I'm talking to myself I stutter as well.
