I don’t actually stutter ? This post may be confusing but I’m 17 and I have a blocked stutter and it’s been that way all my life so far. My mother has been saying that my stutter isn’t as bad as I think it is and I “don’t actually stutter” (which i find that part to be insensitive) and it’s really my anxiety over my speech that makes my stutter seem so bad and I kinda believe her. I notice that when I’m not thinking about my stutter I don’t stutter at all but I think that may be the case for a lot of stutterers. Idk I just feel like if I reduced my anxiety and put myself out there more instead of being so introverted I can overcome my stutter (not completely but mostly) and it won’t be such a major problem for me. Especially with me starting college next year. Any thoughts on this?
