So this is pretty weird. I have a very severe stammer. Its intense. I stutter on even 2nd or 3rd word of the line. And sometimes the blocks go for more than 5-8 secs. But, I'm famous in my batch as the pretty good teacher. I've never like professionally taught anyone or something. Just those last day exam/demo/quiz preparations etc. So I've seen that whenever I'm reading and writing at the same time, i rarely stutter. I've even been called a fraud(jokingly) coz I'm so fluent at a time and the next moment i cant complete a sentence for over a minute. Keep in mind i teach my friends or ppl i know most of the time, not strangers or a large group (coz stage fear ofc) as much. But as I'm writing what I'm explaining, the words come out pretty fluently. And I don't write the words that i wanna say, its just like I'm writing a math equation and explaining how to solve it or what method to use etc. Or writing a code and explaining its working. Very rarely that i do stutter on a word. I start writing it and usually when i write the first or 2nd letter that comes out.. I've always wondered whats the logic behind this and does this happen to other ppl as well?
