Yes. For me, it's the cause of my stuttering. Only way I know this is because when I'm self conscious and stressed the stuttering comes out, full force. When I'm not self conscious and trying to predi...

How are you doing on family gatherings? I'm just mute and response with few words or yes/no if I am being asked. It's really detrimental for my self image. I'm a grown man. It's really embarrassing interrupting them with my blocks. That sudden silence. Their faces also. Pain.
