I don't think it's entirely social for anyone, people don't just spontaneously develop stutters beyond the developmental period except in very rare cases of head trauma. I stutter by myself but the main predictor of severity for me is stress level both generally and socially. I think this is true for most people. There is a social aspect to most stutters but there's always a neurological aspect.
