Stammering, especially when it is triggered by specific consonants or high-pressure social situations (like public speaking or talking to strangers), is often a combination of a developmental speech pattern and situational anxiety. The sounds you mentioned—D, S, P, T, K, N, B—are 'plosives' or 'fricatives' that require precise airflow and tongue placement. When you are nervous, the muscles in your throat and jaw tighten, making it harder to produce these sounds smoothly, which leads to a block or repetition."
