Issues pronouncing words correctly So, in addition to my blocks at the start of every sentence, I'm now unable to pronounce some tones/words because I feel like my mouth and tongue move asymmetrically, i.e. I speak almost exclusively with the right side of my face. I don't know whether I'm just imagining it or not (i.e. using it as another excuse for my stutter). But it sucks. I cannot _not_ focus on my speech and it kills my mental health.
