Have you ever tried doing the opposite and stutter on purpose? It’s very difficult. From personal experience I can’t do it. 🤔 Stuttering is in fact the art of trying to hide stuttering. Which really means stuttering is caused by trying to hide something that you’ve only created by trying to hide it. Not to be off topic, stuttering is exhausting sometimes it’s embarrassing makes you feel stupid and sometimes yes it just feels easier to not speak at all. It’s only when we surrender to it and just be “ok” with our disability that speech becomes easier.
