Thinking about stuttering before speaking, causing you to stutter worse? Hi everyone first post here, I have a mild stutter but i find when i have to repeat myself or when its my turn to say something in a meeting, i will think about what i need to say and get anxious about if i will stutter or get a block and ultimately it'll make me block or stutter really badly. Does anyone else experience this?
