In the past two years I have been having diffuculty speaking. I've noticed that often times it is a struggle to form a sensable sentence. Sometimes my sentences come out all garbled. I have begun to studder a lot. I wonder what's going on.

Same here, but only due to anxiety.
I can speak fluently to myself.

have you spent much time in isolation?

have you had a lack of social practice?

have you been expanding your vocabulary?

i've experienced the same thing.. it doesn't bother me much though.. i think studdering is interesting.. it can be neat to listen to people what stutter talking

it can be a little frustrating when i cant quite get something out that i'm trying to say but i just see it as something to laugh at

porky pig stutters.. he's funny.. and cute.. and to mention it.. i don't see him around quite as often as i used to.. i wonder whats up with that...

Same here :(. Especially if I'm trying to do something else at the same time as I'm speaking, or if I feel any kind of tension.

Are you afraid of how your voice comes out when you talk?

Frequently I have a lot of phlegm backed up in my throat and it sounds weird. It makes it so that I'm either talking too loud or nearly inaudible. When it's like this I tend to stutter because it makes me nervous to respond because I have to say about half of a sentence before I can get my voice sounding right.

I stutter when I am anxious/uncomfortable...I speak fine when I feel comfortable....my brain seems to function better when I am confortable, but when I am anxious it sort of...slows down or freezes up...
