Cannot get words out Hi guys, I am 20 years old and have been dealing with a stutter/stammer for as long as I can remember. Thankfully the stutter has gotten a lot better in recent years since I have realized that it had been caused by anxiety, stress, shyness and lack of confidence. However, recently I have been trying to deal with a part of my stuttering which has been getting worse - not being able to get my words out. Before I could say my name without stuttering but now I am afraid of freezing up and not being able to spit it out after an experience in class when a teacher asked my name and I could not get it out (I did spell it out verbally though). I've also had this problem when ordering food and in similar public experiences. Although today I feel as confident and bright about the future as ever, I really want to understand the cause of this problem and really kick it in it's ass. And I will also make the effort to speak out more to just prove to myself I can speak without any problems (which I know I can). Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Or even anyone who can share any similar experiences would mean a ton! :) Thank you!
