Yup! I only stutter around my immediate family. I’ve mentioned my stutter to my friends who were like “?? I didn’t know you have stutter” I think it’s because I’ve trained myself (possibly subconsciously) to work around my stutter around anyone who’s not my family. It’s honestly really weird because I’m a stutterer but I don’t relate to most stutterers in general. Not to say I got the short end of the stick, I definitely didn’t. Oh and fun story: I once stuttered while talking to my crush and that felt good because it means that we’re close enough
