Sudden Realization I was on the school bus going home today and I was talking to my friend and then they ask me, “Why do you talk like that?”, In which I replied with:, “Talk like what?”, “Like you’re having seizures?”. Whaaat?? Seizures??? I mean it’s normal to be pretty insensitive and have no censorship on whats going out of your mouth in seventh grade, but ok. And then I realized he referred to my “stuttering”. I don’t really mind it, i think its normal for people to stutter sometimes, but if I do it so often for my friend to notice, then I don’t know. And then I have another sudden realization happened, I stutter in a LOT of conversations. I don’t know why. In the middle of my sentences, it’s like I suddenly “forgot” the “word” I was gonna say, but I see the word right in front of me but I can’t just get it and spit it out, until I wait a few seconds. I also sometimes *completely* forget what word I was gonna say, and I just stand there looking like an idiot and moving my mouth like a fish while looking for that word in my brain. My memory and reading is ok but when it comes to talking, its,,,, ehh,,,. Maybe it’s because I’m kinda scared to talk to people because I’m afraid they’ll judge me or something??? I even stutter when it comes to people I’m comfortable with. I just realized this now. Is this normal? EDIT: The development of my stuttering is similar to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/ebmc8z/im_15_never_had_a_stutter_before_but_developing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf), except for the part with the sleep problems. I also never had a concussion, i think(?). My stuttering started I guess maybe 2 years ago or more(?), I never really paid attention to it. PS. I’m 13.
