Tips for other people’s stutter affecting mine? I’m sorry if this has been asked already. I’m new here. I’m 20 and I’ve had my stutter my entire life, like nearly everyone here. My stutter has always been pretty bad, but I’ve been getting more fluent through the years. My cousin has a stutter worse than mine and hearing him skip words, block, and start over again makes mine worse. After watching IT pt 2, I haven’t been able to properly form a single sentence and I was stuck like that for about a week. My thoughts stuttered even more after the movie too. It gets stressful in group settings and people end up making fun of me, so I just stop talking all together. I’ve never been to speech therapy so I don’t know what techniques I can use, and I don’t know who to trust online. If anyone has any tips or links to reputable videos on YouTube that would be great. Thank you in advance
