Stuttering coming back I’m sophomore in college right now (19m) and I’ve noticed that ever since I’ve been back at school since winter break, my stutter has became more noticeable, and I’ve been stuttering way more. I feel like first semester (fall) I thought I was finally starting to overcome my stutter, and now it’s coming back and it seems a little worse. It’s genuinely frustrating me a lot. I also have to take speech this semester, and I’m really really fearing that. I’m not afraid to talk in public, or present stuff, I’m just afraid of stuttering in front of people and them judging me.
