1.I often stutter on multiple syllables words. Single syllables I can say fluently. When I was younger I had a hard time pronouncing S starting words but nowadays I have no issue. 2. Like I said it use to be S words but not anymore 3.I have intense anxiety sometimes feel the mental block 4.100% but I realize if I focus on my Inhale and exhale when I’m talking I actually won’t stutter as often 5.No I don’t, actually reading out loud in class made me confident in my speaking. I also sing all the time because I feel normal when I do it lol 6.I change the word I know I’ll stutter on to a one syllables word 7. Yea that’s what I meant for my answer in question 6
