Does anyone else trip on their words at times or even often and is also very quiet not liking to speak much?

In recent years a stutter happens mainly when i have to talk about something that makes me scared or nervous or if i have to talk and also happen to be nervous. I don't know. It happens at times. Stutter or trip on my words. Not sure if its exactly stuttering.

As for being quiet... Always been very quiet. But knowing i could start stammering over my words or whatever makes me wanna open my mouth even less LOL

The fear of messing up your words is common amongst sufferers of social anxiety. I can offer little ideas of how to overcome it, but I'm no psychologist or anything.

The pick of the bunch is to drum it into yourself you have as much right to speak as anyone else you are in the company of. The more you believe that the easier you'll find it.

Thanks! Thats something i always worry like i never wanna tell people theyre in my way, i just wait or go around them. I don't know if thats normal or just social anxiety. Other people notice this in me too. So its like part of my personality. Ironically get me online and i can talk more freely. I have to write down what you said and hopefully it sticks in.

It's all down to self belief. Take me for example. I don't enjoy upsetting people or confrontation, but I am worth every bit as much as them, and I don't like people taking liberties!
You just have to believe it.

I guess its fair. As long as one isn't harming others, why shouldn't we say things?

I do a lot. I t oh no it’s because I have a permanent speech problem because my sister used to speak for me as a kid and she permanently damaged my learning ability at a young age, especially because speech is developed at such a young age
