For those who might enjoy seeing these, I am posting the quotes I have collected over the years on this page http://quotescollectedovertheyears.blogspot.com/

Stuttering and being nervous

Many people think that a person who stutters only does so because they are nervous. This paragraph explains better than I can that a person who stutters is not doing so because they are nervous.

"While anxiety is not the cause of stuttering, anxiety may make us stutter more severely at times, such as during stressful situations like talking on the phone or speaking in front of a crowd. A frustrating reality about stuttering is that when we want to stutter less, we often end up stuttering more. And when we no longer fear our stuttering, we often end up stuttering less." from this web page http://www.stutteringhelp.org/stuttering-myths-beliefs-and-straight-talk-teens
