An interesting scenario Hi! I am a 15-year-old boy that has a very weird stutter. When I alone in my room I can recite all of rap God by myself. But the moment that I bring my closest friend or my father or my mother into the room, I immediately start to stutter. And it's only on certain words too. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but please reach out to me if you find a solution. I know that I need to learn how to live with it but it's very embarrassing in high school. I just don't know what to do. Even when I'm sitting here in my room recording this voice message cuz I'm too lazy to type it all out, I do not stutter. I was just wondering if anybody has had this happen to them. If so, please tell me if you have found something on it. I'm not sure if it's anxiety or something else. But please let me know cuz I'm starting to struggle with my life.
