Thanks for such an informative comment. I will try all those steps. As you said, I do feel extremely nervous and mostly have blocks rather than repetitions. I think it's because I want to hide my stutter . And yeah I have problem with eye contact aswell. All in all I think it's a vicious cycle of anxiety and stuttering. I feel anticipation of stuttering is worse than stuttering. Sometimes when I am trying not to stutter but finally block, it feels like a relief and I don't stutter after that. Ohh and I recently noticed that I do eat words in between and speak in a slurry manner. I think its due to my stutter. I have also noticed that it's hard for me to speek slowly. I feel like always in a hurry. Anyways,I will try all the steps you described. I think it will definitely help me. Gotta save this comment. Thanks again man.
