Dear Sir/ Madam, I have a problem since my childhood. Normally I am ok, but when get nervous to speak/face anybody, (like teacher, Interview Board members, stranger people) I stammers a lot, and inside my heart beat became very fast. I can't speak even a single word fluently. I have tried that time to stay calm & relax, but I do not know why it happens with me. That was not a great reason for me to became so hyper. But I was. And stammer every word. Normally when I speak with my friends, family members, known people, I speak fluently, there is no lagging in my speaking. I don't know what type of problem is it? Is it for high anxiety? But why? Is there any solution for my problem? From- Manojit Paul. Male Age-23 Weight-60 kg Height-170 cm.
