Anybody else find that their stutter triggers the most when trying to talk to someone who doesn’t know you’re there? Something about being the one to initiate the conversation first without anything beforehand triggers my blocks like crazy. It’s very similar to answering phone calls; where I have to almost hype myself up to talk. Anybody else have similar experiences/solutions?
