Not stuttering with strangers

Not stuttering with strangers I recently found out that I stuttered most with my close family, and less often with my friends. Better than that, I never stuttered with strangers! At first I was unsure, but I purposely put myself in situations where I had to talk to strangers, and I managed to talk almost completely fluently every time. So I have come to a conclusion, if I talk to someone who DOESN’T KNOW I HAVE A STUTTER, I would talk normally. Does anybody else have a similar experience?
