stop talking.
You can become mute it is called Selective mutism. It is an anxiety disorder or a person is most likely to be mute due to an traumatic event. This is most likely to happen at a young age. Selective mutism usually co-exists with shyness or (often severe) social anxiety. You can talk but not around specific people and sometimes you can't talk to anyone. Despite the change of name from "elective" to "selective", a common misconception remains that a selectively mute child is defiant or stubborn. In fact, children with SM have a lower rate of oppositional behaviour than their peers in a school setting. Another common belief is that selectively mute children have experienced abuse or trauma, but most professionals who have treated many children with selective mutism currently believe this is not true.
