Those of you who are reasonably fluent, are there certain people who are your kryptonite? Ugh. I just got off a Skype chat with a woman I'm mentoring. I'm covert and reasonably fluent, but for some reason every time I chat with her, my stutter rears up: blocking, repetition, the whole shmear. I have no idea why. I don't feel nervous around her -- I'm good at what I do and very used to having this type of conversation. Frustrating, but kind of amusing too. Does this happen to anyone else?
