>*When I am sometimes interrupted, I am able to speak the word fine. Does anyone experience this?* Yes I experience this as well. This [research](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353636923_THE_VARIABLE_RELEASE_THRESHOLD_VRT_HYPOTHESIS_OF_STUTTERING) hypothesizes that it could be, because **if other people interrupt us** in the middle of speech, then it could lead to us lowering the execution threshold. In other words, we perceive '*what we want to say*' as less important or we lower the need to pronounce it too accurately or appropriately. I certainly feel more pressure when all eyes are on me, whereas if someone interrupts, then I pay less attention to negative listener's responses and then I don't perceive the need to speak 'more' fluent or to 'fix/avoid speech errors'. I think the major aspect we can learn from this is, to stop applying **conditions** that hold back speech and speak with negative listener's responses and other pressure, mistakes and disruptions regardless without canceling the [speech plan](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/11fn406/poll_do_you_understand_this_one_of_the_most/).
