I don't remember all the letters from the top of my head, but for sure I stutter on words that start with L, M, N, S/C. Oh and when someone asks my name, I stutter with my name. As I said, when someone asks for my name, I stutter. But what I do to avoid my stutter in that moment, I usually say "my name is [name]" I have to say "my name is" in order to not stutter. If I just say my name right away, im gonna stutter. So that's a "trick" of mine. I kinda like when someone finishes my sentences. But I hate it when they cut through what I'm saying and say "what was that?" Or "I didn't hear you, can you say that again?" It bothers me because I already struggled to try to say that sentence and now I have to say it again from the beginning which means having to stutter again. But there's a few lucky cases where repeating myself makes me not stutter. I think some people that stutter like to switch out words when they know they're gonna stutter, cuz I do that sometimes. I'm just using an example here, but let's say someone is trying to say "I went for a jog today" but they stutter on jog. They might try to say "I went for a slow run today" or something like that. I hope that makes sense
