my stutter gives me so much anxiety and stress Hello, I'm in highschool and struggle with speech blocks. No one says anything about because I don't have it super often but this friday one of my friends just mentioned it and suddenly a wave of anxiety hit me. I have no idea why tho, I can speak fluently when I'm calm and chill and take breaths but because of anxiety and these situations I can never keep cool at the right moment. Does anyone else get stress when someone just mentions your stutter and why is this? Also how can I keep calm when speaking infront of a class?
