Smalltalk Problems. Hi r/Stutter ! I have been stuttering since I was a child (21 now). I wanted to share my experience about what recently became a much bigger problem (leaving school for university thus meeting many new people). I have problems with having smalltalk, my stutter is the worst when asking or answering questions, and more often than not I find myself in a situation, where I don't ask a question, even though I want to know something or want to contribute to the situation - I just remain silent. Back in school, I had a lot of friends, but making new became kind of hard, because I think I appear to them as uninterested/uninteresting. Sometimes I feel like I am exploding, because I want to say something or because I know something(I just say "I don't know"), I feel like an open guy, but at the same time trapped within my stutter. * Have you experienced something similar? * Can someone give me tips on how to practice situations like that? (I was in therapy from years 6 to 18 by the way, so I know some techniques, but in none work for me in situations like that). Anyway, thanks for reading, needed to get that off my mind. *edit: I have next to no problems speaking freely (like telling a story).*
