Started stuttering out of nowhere Hello everyone! I've graduated from high school two years ago and started going to university February of last year. I was never a public speaker during my past life, but I always considered myself good with words, had a nice speech flow, never really had any issues with stuttering at all. However, ever since midway through last year (when I started my second semester), I've become a “serial stutterer” of sorts, and the frequency has been growing exponentially ever since then. At first, I only stuttered a little bit during group meetings and class presentations, but now I stutter a lot even when I'm at home by myself, let alone when I'm with friends and family. So, is this a normal thing? Can it be corrected? Thanks in advance!
