Trying to figure out what I have Growing up I stuttered a little. It usually happened when I tried to read from a book. (That sure as fun when I had to read Shakespeare). As I've gotten older (now 24), I've noticed my stuttering has gotten worse. Noticeably worse in the past 2 years. It usually happens at the start of a sentence or thought. I'll hang on the start of the word and even if I stop for a second, I'll still stutter for a second or two longer. It doesn't happen 24/7 but I would say it happens at least a good 3+ times a day. I would talk with my mom and I would just slowly get frustrated because I can't get the damn word out. Once I can get the first word, the rest of the sentence will usually go well. I don't know if its due to stress or anxiety. I get really down on myself about it when it happens, especially in public. Even when I talk to myself out loud (as I tend to do at times), I still stutter. The best way I can describe it is that; my brain is sending the words and my mouth can't keep up. That what I think anyway. My mom's co-worker said it has a name but I don't know what it is. He also said that its not entirely uncommon in guys as they age. Does anyone know or relate to all of this? Help put my mind at ease.
