Hyperawareness and stuttering Humans are conditioned to react to stimuli - even in the most minute situations. At our most primal level, think of an ape reacting to a predator. That instinct is still in us. But in our case, the ‘predator’ is usually non-existent - or not really a threat at all. What I’ve noticed is that our brains become hyperaware of our surroundings, and we start outputting feedback in a mismatched way - blown out of proportion. I see it like a system overload, trying to protect the ego and regain composure , and it gets worse in new places or around unfamiliar people. It’s just a false flag. In my experience, the moment I subconsciously identify that signal as false-and I reaffirm that to myself - the stutter reduces dramatically so dramatically I could go on talking for time without stuttering. What do y’all think?
