Wow I was same until I just stopped speaking to my family all together because “stuttering” was always the topic. So no speaking meant no stuttering. If my dad asked me a question I’d say “sorry I’m stuck on a word” he’d say “which one” I’d say “all of them”. I don’t stutter to my boss or new friends because that’s not what defines me to them.
