For me, it’s not directly genetic. It’s a reinforced habit that was a symptom of other mental issues like perfectionism, insecurity, and anxiety. Speech therapy likely won’t do much unless it’s someone with experience stuttering. Normies just have educated guesses. There are *former* stutterers. Either they “grew out of it” or they cured themselves with determination.
