Is it weird that my stutter is actually worse than I let on? In regular conversations I have my usual stutter where I block on some words or repeat a syllable here and there. But I realize that lately when someone’s actually talking to me about something that only I can answer or weigh in on? Holy shit man it’s like every other word needs to be rounded out. It usually happens at work now and it’s weird bc idc what these ppl think of me, yet I guess I still low key do bc it’s affecting me for the worse. I guess I’m just in a rough spell of disfluency. Wish me luck. 🙌🏽
