This is really weird... So basically, as a child, I was like the best reader ever. Unironically. I could speak fluently for hours. I remember this up till age 11 and maybe even 12. Never remember stuttering. However, my father did have a mild stutter. He didn't really block per se, but he did have less fluency in his speech or less 'smoothness'. Now, throwback to 27th August, 2022. I felt a weird tingling in my tongue and it wasn't really a major issue, just felt weird. What did concern me was that my tongue was vibrating a lot. Like all the time, UNLESS it was completely relaxed and resting. Now, 3rd September 2022 is the first time I remember googling 'why do I stutter'. So my 'stutter' is really weird. It's kind of like, you know when someone is making a voice note and they have to keep retrying like they start 'slurring' or saying nonsense (literal). This has severely affected me. Now, there is a few weird symptoms involved. My teeth CLACK when I speak. Like to the point I feel pain in my jaw. I feel like this contributes somehow. I can try to not make them crack artificially but I start slurring 10x more and have to speak a lot slower. ANOTHER symptom is that my throat feels really like 'tight', and even sometimes feels like it's cramping to the point of bring painful AFTER I speak. It's kinda the feeling if you tried gagging yourself for a while. I am turning 16 soon for reference.
