OT here but here is something I read in an article long back. I think it sums up what stuttering feels like to a stutterer. I hadn't ever read a more giving explanation. >I imagine that for the non-stammerer, language must be a little like air, a medium so compliant that most of the time you forget you’re moving within it. But for the stammerer, speaking is like moving through water – you are constantly aware of language because it constantly resists you. Having always to navigate around difficult sounds gives you a sense of how many routes a sentence can choose on its way to a full stop.
