Do you think my stutter is like yours ? When I lose sense of my self I speak 100 percent fluently when I’m alone I speak fluently. When I was younger I had a developmental stutter like I would repeat a sentence a couple of times because I didn’t know what to say I’m guessing that’s because i started learning a new language when I was 5 before 5 I spoke Arabic and I don’t remember stuttering. Maybe it was because I was learning a new language and I didn’t know what to say. so I got frustrated at my developmental stutter that I began trying to force the words out resulting in me using the valva manoeuvre. A valva manoeuvre happens when u pick up something and you need extra force to help you. I did that to my speech when I needed to get something out and I was really mad when I did that it made me say something is wrong with me. The only thing that’s making me doubt my self if I have a physical and emotional problem is I got chinned on my head when I was 13 but it wasn’t anything major it was minor I just went to the doctors and they didn’t do much. I have ocd maybe that’s why I keep obsessing about this. I reasons I don’t think it’s physical on the other hand I don’t stutter when alone or with a friend that I’m 100 percent comfortable with I guess it’s my perception and my self esteem according to the situation what are your thoughts ?
