Should I be using filler words. Example: like As a stutterer who is trying to manage it through school I often find myself saying “like”many many times in a simple conversation. I kind of just automatically say “like” without possessing it and I find it happens more when I’m talking to someone who I don’t usually talk to as a way to hide my stutter. I’ll also repeatedly say “like” until I can say my next word. Should I be doing this or just stutter?
