What type of stutter is it when you stumble on words such as "actually" and "ch" sounds I've been really paying attention to find out what types of issues I have with my talking, I want to get better at public speaking but I can't figure out what the actual names of my issues are. Heres what I've noticed so far \-I can talk pretty much fine, its only when I stumble upon pronouncing one thing I cant just continue on from that, if I mispronounce something it makes me stop and stumble. \-When I talk while I can pronounce S's pretty fine, when I'm actually starting to talk pretty quick, like sort of getting in a good moment, I pronounce S's very distinctly, like I pronounce them fine but I sort of highlight the S when talking unnaturally. When theres a ton of s's in a very short span I always end up mucking up. \-I sort of pronounce stuff like the sort of nerdy steryiotype, like very slushy, like sometimes when I talk words like actually I'd pronounce ackshually (like the meme) and when saying "ch" sounds like much they can sometimes sound very slushy. Whenever either of these things happen it just mucks up my entire rhythm and I have to stop for a few seconds before I talk again.
