Interesting that you mentioned that, I had the same experience you described, growing up with two older sisters. Nobody in my family stutters but me, and I sometimes think it’s related to that. Do you know that feeling when you block in anticipation of your fellow conversationalists cutting you off? Whenever that happens to me I’m transported back in time to sitting at the dinner table with my siblings where we’re competing for airtime.
