Why do I stutter when I know what I'm going to say but usually dont As the title says usually I don't usually stutter but when for example the teacher is doing something with someone else so I wait until they're finished but when I ask them (I already kinda know what I'm gonna say when I thought about asking) I stutter a bit. Why does this happen?
