I have to keep to a certain rhythm while I’m speaking because it sort of helps ( like there is a drum beat constantly In my mind ) closest thing I can compare it to . I don’t know if anyone else feels like when you lose your rhythm your body feels like it has to make up for it In some form , sometimes when my stutter gets really bad I end up tapping my foot trying to get the words out or the most extreme I slam my arm or hand off a table it’s so fucking weird . I feel like my body goes into auto pilot sometimes forgetting my surroundings then In turn making me feel more aware of my stutter because of course it makes people look at me after I do it .
