Hey man, there definitely has been an uptake in the amount of people who have experienced their stutter "returning" or "coming back", especially due to lockdown. [An example here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/g4wcwu/just_realized_i_still_stutter_it_has_returned/). While I have never experienced this (as I've always stuttered), my stutter has gotten a bit more severe. This pandemic has been and continues to be a stressful time for everyone. Staying home a lot might mean socially isolating ourselves a lot more than usual, and therefore not talking to people as much (less practice). Generally, I feel like a lot of people are experiencing social anxiety now just due to the lack of exposure to social situations. Have you been generally talking with people less due to the pandemic?
