Please Help I am a 14-year-old high school student who has stuttered since I was little. I have noticed that I stutter when I talk to anyone who isn't my close friends or family. I have also noticed that I stutter when trying to talk while someone else is talking. I don't know if this is normal or not but yeah. And lately, I have been going to dances and trying to build up my confidence by dancing with people but of course, when we start talking in the slow dance, I sutter an unbelievable amount and it is super embarrassing. Oh, an not to mention that I am socially awkward. Does anyone have any suggestions to get over stuttering or at least not do it when I am nervous or dancing with someone?
