Talk like nobody is listening Just wanted to share this tip that helps me as a stutterer. I sometimes stutter much less when I pretend/imagine I’m alone, even when I’m in a group or talking with another person. It’s hard to describe, but I can actually feel my brain switch to a different “mode” and I can talk more fluently. Just sharing in case this helps somebody else.
