My Stutter is Confusing, Looking for Help.

My Stutter is Confusing, Looking for Help. Hey everyone, I’m 22 and I’ve been stuttering since I was a kid. I’ve seen a few doctors over the years, but nothing’s really worked. The way I stutter is a bit different from what I’ve heard others describe, and it’s honestly kind of frustrating. Most of the time, I can talk just fine, but then there’s that one word. It’s like I know in my head that I’m going to have trouble saying it. When that word comes up, it’s like my brain just… switches off, and I can’t get it out. I can still talk, but I have to change the conversation or avoid that word. Even if I pause, take a deep breath, and try to force it, I just can’t say it. I have to wait a few seconds, and then, somehow, my brain tells me I can say it again. Socializing has become harder now, especially with friends, and I sometimes feel like an outcast. I hate feeling like I’m “less than” others just because of this stutter. It’s starting to mess with my confidence. So yeah, if anyone here has experienced something similar or has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. Just trying to figure out what’s going on and how I can get past this. Thank you.
