Yeah I have seen those jokes a lot. I hate how they act like stuttering is caused by anxiety. When I was a little kid I stuttered without any anxiety. The anxiety comes from people’s reactions and how they treat you after the fact. Yeah I am always terrified of people cutting me off, if someone ask me to repeat myself I stutter 3x as worse. Do you find you stutter more on what you are going to say rather than if you are free styling? I stutter the worse on things I know word by word, which is ironic since people tell you to calm down and practice what you are going to say in the mirror as “advice.”
