I stutter [M 22] I have been stuttering ig all my life and i am in my 20s now and I am done with it. I have hard blocks where no matter how hard I try few words just wont come out it can be as easy as my name or something difficult to speak. Anxiety makes it much more difficult ughh In my non anxious conversation with my parents or known friends, I am like 95% fluent and occasional blips of me shifting to another word and having gaps in conversation But ohh god when its a stranger, I have to do hell lot of effort to calm my mind down and shift it to non anxious talk to make myself fluent, otherwise the start of conversation I am gonna get stuck a lot and if its very serious interview i have really really struggled to speak, takes away all my confidence and puts me in such bad light and it sucks tbh I am not in the front facing occupation but I know I am great at understanding people and having conversation with them and do such great at it but my speech blocks my potential. How can I get better at it like I really want to be 99% fluent in all cases like how normal people are, I cant live with it anymore. What speech pathologist should I visit in bangalore, India and what all ways should I try to get myself better and better in this.
