Yes, I know what you mean. I think it could have to do with you being impatient and rushing to tell them. Lots of the time, with anecdotes or paraphrasing someone else’s words, the meaning and reason of what we’re saying doesn’t come until the end of the story. So we feel rushed to try to condense the story as small as possible, because we don’t want the other person waiting for us to make our point. Or maybe we are so excited to make our overall point that it’s causing us to rush. And this pressure causes stuttering. Also, our stories are very personal to us, so sometimes bring up emotions. So we have to make sure that we accept those emotions before we speak. Especially if the climax of the story is intense, the emotions caused by that are making us feel unsettled inside. And with paraphrasing someone else’s words, we may feel a high level of responsibility to get what they said correctly, and to make them look good. This pressure can cause anxiety, causing stuttering.
