First I just want to say I really appreciate you responding to my post. For my thoughts. I see where you are getting at and it actually was/is a big concern of mines that I might be making it worse by thinking about it. It's just over the years I just can't help but notice it. For example there's been many times when I'm preparing to talk to someone, I say what I want to say 5 to 8 times under my breath and I will say it perfectly each time but as soon as I make an attempt to say it to them I start to stutter. It's just kind of annoying that I could talk to myself for an hour and stutter maybe once or twice but as soon as I try to say good morning to my sister or say hello, my name is, I can barely get the words out. I can definitely acknowledge that it's probably my view on talking to people but I just don't know what that would be or what I should change.
