Stuttering when nervous Sometimes I can speak perfectly clearly and concisely; however, whenever I feel even a slight bit of nervousness, I instantly get a block in all of my words. This happens to the point where I am nervous about stuttering & blocks, causing me to block even more. I am really stuck and not found any useful tips apart from not being nervous. Anything would help.
