I guess the only way to define it is... I’m speaking to a person and I know what I’m going to say. Instead of saying the word I freeze (to try and collect myself first) and instead of just finishing my sentence I just tell them I lost my train of thought Sometimes I speak and I get caught on a block and I just abandon the whole sentence entirely. I guess this is an anxiety thing (which I don’t understand because I’m relatively confident in myself and what I do) but sometimes i don’t see the point in stuttering through my sentence. I’d rather just save my breath (because I can’t breath when I stutter)
