i’ve just tried to get a gauge of what words i need to avoid, or just any sounds, anything like that, but nothing ever works. it’s always random. the one thing that i have worked out is just that it gets 100x worse when i know i’m about to stutter and then i try to get it all out before i start. i tried saying a variety of phrases to myself to, again, try and work out a pattern, like a letter, or a sound, but it’s always different. i then tried to speak in a different language (i’m from a country where we have 2 national languages, i’m only fluent in english though 🥲) and then i got a breakthrough. i only stutter in english. when i’m speaking the other language, i don’t stutter at all. which i found really weird. so basically, the lesson that i learned was that it gets progressively worse as i grow older, and that i don’t stutter when i speak the other language. i also don’t stutter when singing. (because it’s a song and there’s a rhythm?) i don’t have any trigger letters, sounds or words (although words that start with F are pretty problematic. i stutter the worse on them, so i try to avoid them as much as possible, but it’s only half the time)
