Something I would like to share. Hi /r/stutter. So I don't have a HUGE problem with stuttering, but it's enough to bother me. The problem tends to arise when I'm out in public and I have to speak to people I don't know or when I have to speak to a group of people. I can get stuck and it feels like I have some kind of block in my head that's stopping me from speaking or that heavily fragments my speech. Some days the problem never comes up and I have no issue speaking fluidly, and other days the problem is really prevalent and annoying. What I find strange is that I never really have any problem speaking to close friends or talking to myself. I've had this problem since I was a child and it's gotten a lot better over time, however it has always been uncontrollable. So I would like to know if anyone else out there has this kind of reoccurring problem with a sort of "block" that prevents you from speaking fluidly.
