I have not been to therapy, but I feel you on this. I just hate how on some days, I can speak so fluently with my friends and family, but on days when I have presentations or when I'm speaking with people (who I perceive are higher than me), I block so much. I hate it because I can't stop caring about what other people think. Now, I'm not caring about what other people think of my stutter (only ignorant people poke fun of my speech), I just can't stop caring about the fact that other people will think that I'm not comfortable with them because I only stutter when I speak to them (if that makes sense). Some people might notice that I only stutter when I speak to them in particular. What's your input on this worry of mine? Do you feel the same? If so, how do you cope with it?
