That's why i'm looking for resources about stuttering, to identify and understand my stuttering better. In terms of trigger i've been trying to be really aware but even though tiredness, anxiety, anger or any sort of elevated negative emotion makes it worse i still don't know what makes me talk smooth when i can talk smooth. My stutter is almost always there, the frequency may change day by day or even sometimes hour by hour, when i try to read something out loud or try to talk with myself when i'm alone i'm mostly okay but unfortunately it doesn't translate to social interactions. Due to my current and past jobs i had to deal with a lot of people and even though its rare i remember myself having fluent smooth conversations with random people but i don't know what was the difference in this times vs when i stutter. I also know there is no one technique that works for everyone, that's why i want to learn different techniques/practices so i can experiment around.
