Stuttering has become so normal for me now! And my stuttering has grown tremendously in the last 2-3 years. I'm literally numb now to that pain. No Hope of ever getting recovered. I go into interviews, tell them I stutter beforehand, start speaking and for the next 1 hour literally stutter on every 2nd - 3rd word. I don't know how the other person even listens to me for an hour. I feel pity for myself sometimes, specially when I see less talented people do far better just because they're fluent and can communicate better whereas I need people to be really patient with me. After an hour of continuous stuttering my entire energy gets drained. I wish for another life where I can be stutter free. Sorry if that sounds like a vent. I don't mean to discourage you from speaking. To answer your question, your brain is used to stuttering. Brain registers it as just another pattern. The more you speak in unfamiliar situation, the less it will fear the stutter.
