25M - stutters sometimes - any techniques to overcome unexpected stutters Hey everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster. I’m a 25-year-old guy who only stutters some days—most days my speech flows just fine, but other days I’ll suddenly get stuck on words or sounds and it can be pretty frustrating. The thing is, my parents have no idea this even happens. Whenever I feel a stutter coming on, I’ll pretend I’ve just forgotten what I was about to say or that I’m “thinking it through,” so they don’t suspect anything. It’s exhausting keeping up that act, and I really want to feel more confident when I talk. Has anyone here dealt with an intermittent stutter like this? What techniques or exercises have helped you reduce or control it? Speech therapy tips, breathing exercises, apps, even mindfulness practices—if it worked for you, I’d love to hear about it. Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences! 🙏
