Hey! That is interesting in deed. Believe it or not, I have never talk to an other stutter about stuttering so its my first time hearing that. I think my man u/MoneyButterscotch195 hit the spot. Maybe in your mind you are emulating and escenario where you are in the presence of others. I remember when i was a kid I always had problems saying my name. Even when I was alone, I imagined the same escenarios where i usually stutter saying my name and the thought was so real and vivid that the experience was very similar to the real deal. You said that you stutter everywhere, even when you are alone but... ¿Do you tend to stutter less? Or is it the same as talking to a big autority or a highschool crash or whatever makes you umcomfortable? ¿Do you stutter on your head as well? I mean not speaking aloud. Im very confident that every person who stutter feels less threated when its by himself and not around others. And thats a BIG clue to solving the puzzle. You have to ask yourself: ¿Why is that? ¿I´m really being me around other people? Great insight bro take care and keep going
