Does anyone else stutter/stammer or go mute in certain social situations?

I've had this since year 8 (12 years old). In any situation where I have to speak to a lot of people or even order food, I know what I need to say, but nothing physically comes out of my mouth. It's like there's something stopping me from speaking.

This further fuels my anxiety, which then further fuels my stutter/going mute, which again fuels my anxiety, so it's like a cycle. Due to this, I've just stopped speaking to people as im soo self conscious about it. I have lost so many opportunities due to this.

Does anyone else have this issue?
