I can totally relate to this. When I'm focused on the topic, instead of my speech, I'm great. Problem is, I have a very difficult time doing that. Sometimes, I'll be talking just fine, and I will r...

I think I hit a brick wall during a company social (may possibly cost me an invite back) I think my stutter is caused by the environment I'm in and the type of person I'm talking to. Anyone else has this and how to improve?
