Performance anxiety Hello everyone, I’ve had a stutter since I was a child, but it didn’t really become a serious problem until I was around 14. Since then, I’ve developed what I think is performance anxiety, and it affects almost everything I do in my daily life. It has made my stuttering much worse, especially causing blocks on certain letters. Sometimes I go through very embarrassing situations, but strangely, after those moments, the performance anxiety disappears for a while, and my stutter becomes much lighter — almost like it’s not even there. But then the next day, everything comes back again. So I feel like my main issue now is performance anxiety because it has a huge impact on my stutter. Has anyone experienced something similar? And does anyone have advice on how to deal with or reduce performance anxiety? Thank you.
