When you forget that you stutter... Mild stutterer here - my stuttering ranges from nonexistent to very severe, and was at its worst in my childhood ( hard times, I know ). In my case it is genetic. My mother, sister, and little brother have it, even more severe than I do. It didn't impact my life too much, but its very much there. During some periods of my life I completely forgot that I stutter. And with some people I actually don't stutter at all. But as soon as I remember it exist in my life, I begin to stutter again. It feels like a pressure in the middle of my chest sometimes. Anyone can relate?
