Personal topics making me stutter more

Personal topics making me stutter more Are there any topics that you seem to stutter more on, so you generally avoid talking about it? For example, personal topics that reveal details about me and my private life tend to make me stutter more, and I generally don't talk about it during conversations. When people ask me questions, I tend to give vague answers or am unable to answer, and I wasn't really aware of this until my friends brought it to my attention. Due to this, people know very little about me, although I can engage in conversation fairly well if the attention isn't on my private life. When it is, I suddenly find it hard to express thoughts into words, because my brain goes blank and I don't know what to say, or how best to say things, because *nothing's there.* I figure I've avoided doing this for so long that my brain freezes, not knowing what to do. This has of course made certain things difficult. Strangers trying to get to know me are met with a bit of a brick wall, you can imagine how dating must be for me. They can ask me about my family, and I'm just stumbling along while they're trying to figure out what's so difficult about telling such basic information. It can give me an air of mystery, which can yield positive effects sometimes, but ultimately people find it frustrating not knowing much about me, while I can know a lot about them. Over time I may tell them these personal things about myself, but I worry not many people will have the patience for that.
