Is it normal to stutter when nervous?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—getting stuck on words or repeating them when you’re nervous is common. It often eases as you feel more comfortable.

Nerves can make you rush, tense up, or focus so hard on what you’re saying that your words trip over each other. Lots of people stumble, repeat sounds, or pause more when they’re anxious or speaking in front of others; it doesn’t necessarily mean you have a stutter disorder.
