late stutter It's weird..... but when I was young, maybe around 10yo. I was at my uncle's house, which he's been stuttering for a long time. I was curious as a young child, and I asked him why does he stutter. He yelled at me, and said I will stutter in the future because I asked that question and made fun of him. A couple years later maybe around 14 or 15yo, guess what? I started to stutter and now I'm 20yo and still have a problem with it. It's not a serious stutter, but sometimes I have to slow down when talking, or sometimes I have to breath or wait before saying the word I'm trying to get out of my mouth. As I'm learning about insurance planning to get my insurance license soon, I'm reading out loud to try and help with my talking. I can spit out words when talking but I'm struggling saying the words while reading. I always keep telling myself that it's because I haven't had to read out loud since highschool, which is why my speech is stumbling. Let's hope I can fix myself!
