I stutter more when I dwell on an upcoming conversation. Like this weekend I have a meeting with people I haven’t talked to in years. I am dreading it and thinking of all the ways I am going to get stuck. Analyzing every single possible conversation I could possibly have and what I will get stuck on. This just makes it all so much worse If someone catches me by surprise, I have no time to think and can usually react quickly with minimal thinking and can get out the words ok.
