I’m exactly like you right now OP, I’m 26 and I noticed my stutter coming back since 2020. I had a stutter when I was a kid but it was not as bad during my middle school or college days until 2020 it started getting worse. To be honest, I have always tried to hide it. It was something so embarrassing for me that I didn’t want people to know so I literally never talked about it to anyone not even my parents. Even though I knew people knew about my stutter. It’s been helping me to start to let people know how I feel. I next have to talk to my boss too about it now because it is affecting my work and I don’t want them to think I’m not trying at work. I do feel embarrassed letting him know but I feel like it will relieve some pressure on me. I would say I stutter more when I have to say long stories or with certain words. Maybe 60% of my talk is ok but there are words that I get blocks with and cannot absolutely get those words out. That’s my main problem with my stutter. Anyways I hope this helps. You’re not alone!!! Don’t feel alone. There are others like you. It helps me to think that literally everyone has problems in life and that our stutter is tough but others have problems too.
