i think the situations that are the worst to be in when stuttering are those that deal with a lot of emotion, or in which social bridges are being built. i've had a hard time with stuttering when talking to acquaintances and whatnot; i also stutter a lot more than usual around my girlfriend. i get most anxiety when dealing with people i've never met, or when participating in classes. my impediment also has gotten worse than usual lately, don't know why..
