I don’t understand my stutter I’ve known people, close friends, with a stutter. Comparing them to mine’s, theirs are more severe. They stutter almost everytime they speak, repeating words, basically your stereotypical idea of a stutter However, mine is quite different. I can speak confidently. I can talk without a stutter. But sometimes i just get stuck. I dont repeat words necessarily, i just get stuck. I have to move a feet or my hands to get words out whenever u get stuck, or just wait a couple of seconds to speak it out. I wonder if its actually some kind of anxiety, because i can def notice the difference in my speech when im relaxed or in a comfortable space vs under pressure, for example. I also stutter almost everytime i have to repeat myself. If someone didnt hear me the first time i said something, im more likely to stutter. So thats why i get so frustrated with my stutter. If it was a constant, everytime-i-speak thing, i would just embrace it. But mines seem to just appear whenever it wants to, or in the worsr possible moments For example i stutter when i know what i have to say. Let me explain: when i know someone is going to ask my phone number, or my home address, or just a question i clearly know the answer to, for some reason i feel under pressure and become more likely to stutter why?? i know i can speak “normally” but my stutter seems to keep playing with me ☠️😭
