I start to stammer when speaking. I have to think of the word or sentence I’m about to say if not I’ll stutter and most of the time it doesn’t even work. I hold sounds and words for long. Example like the S sound. I sometimes speak really fast as a way to not stutter. It’s not great when after Im finish talking they’ll ask me to repeat myself. I repeat words about 10 times while speaking. I’ll block up in the middle of a sentence or the straight from the beginning. I’ll either have to excuse myself so I can speak or I have to use a substitute word. Not a single day goes by without shame or embarrassment.
