Recently I have realized that I stutter a bit, now I can't not think about it every time I'm going to speak:/ (vent-ish??) I've always been a pretty good speaker, I learned to speak early and was intelligible quite soon, though I do have the tendency to get stuck on a sound/word a few times, especially at the start of sentences. It happens more if I am in a loud environment and I can't perceive my own speech well (or just randomly, I've lost several very intelligent comebacks because I kept stuttering and the words came out all weird), I just sort of get stuck saying the first syllable of a word or something. I honestly doubt it's really noticeable and I am actually a very good reader/decent public speaker, but I got a little stuck repeating the start of a word another day & my cousin sort of laughed about it (no ill intent), and now I'm hyper aware of every time I'm going to speak & I've realized how frequently I do it. I never cared much about it and just assumed it was one of my odd speech patterns but now I realized I can rarely say a sentence without stuttering and it's driving me mad. I don't even care that much about it, I don't think many people notice, and if they do, they don't say anything, I just wish I'd un-notice it and stop being so self conscious.
