Confused on what to do. So I have this stutter and I stutter really bad while reading something. I was anxious about how I'm gonna talk in school after it got reopened today and fortunately it went well. I didn't think about my stutter and generally spoke better than I expected. Also I noticed the more pressure I have to get out a word the more I stutter. Now my question is what should I do? Should I practice reading or leave it because it causes anxiety which causes even more stuttering. Should I try changing my speaking technique? Any exercises? My new school year is starting in a month so help would be appreciated.
