I’ve faced a similar situation; I used to just change up the wording so that way I could to make it come out smoother; but now I just slow down my speech to get it out. The slowing down helps but sometimes people will kinda look at you as if your dump or something. Sometimes knowing that you’re already going to stutter will make you stutter or make it worse. So just take a breath, relax and speak with confidence. And if you stutter do that with confidence! I hope this helps 💜
