Talking to new people 23 M, I have had Stuttering my whole life, sometimes I wish I was dumb instead of a stutter, the faces I make, people thinking I am insane, haa, But I had a new experience recently, I Stutter basically with any emotional highs, I was talking to someone about a topic, I was excited to share the information, yeahh hence my stuttering grew like hell, the words coming out like bullets from machine gun, But suddenly they made a hand gesture and said, you are getting excited, don't get excited, I tried consciously being not excited, and viola, i didn't Stutter, everytime I stuttered, they reminded me with a hand gesture to not get excited and hence I consciously took efforts to control my emotions, i guess that's the thing, I always tried to control my Stuttering, Now i understood I need to control my emotional highs consciously
