Hi Umer, great question, and no, it's not strange. For many people who stutter, me included, it's actually easier to be standing up in front of people talking, I believe because there is a great reduction in time pressure... you have the floor, you are speaking, and no one will interrupt you during the allotted time that you have. When you are in a conversation, however, there is a tremendous amount of time-pressure involved... someone speaks, you speak, they speak, you speak... it's very difficult and very fast... Does that sound true for you?
