Just realized I still stutter! It has returned.. So I have been stuttering all my life but it has gradually been less as I have gotten older and more consciously aware. I can’t remember the last time I stuttered. If you talked to me you would never know I have this problem but I realized last night after a Zoom chat with friends that it has returned. I think it’s because of a weeks of not being social. The weird thing is, when I was about to speak, I knew the first word that is coming out, I would stutter on, so I would pause and see if I can overcome it but after a few seconds of thinking, I still stutter when it came out. On a few occasions when that happen, I would replace the word and I was fine. There were no particular words that caused it and usually always at the beginning of me starting to speak. Anybody have this problem? I can’t remember that last time this happened to me but I know it has. I hope my public speaking isn’t affect after all this quarantine cause I do a lot presentations for work.
