Yep, thats pretty much my experience. I started to stutter when i first started gaining a sense of self, about 7 or 8. Before that, I was a very energeric kid, I remember always having quick, jumbled speech because i was excited or because i wanted to be included. When i seen how my jumbled speech was being perceived, thats when it went "downhill". The word "stutter" really limits the idea of what it is. My stutter is speech anxiety that my brain manifested by having repeated experiences of my speech being negatively perceived. All becuase i was too energetic and excited. I repeatedly "got ahead of myself". I still struggle with speaking too fast, but im working on it. My brain isnt wrong, its just doing what it thinks is right. Its trying to get ahead of jumbled speech, which just creates more jumbled speech. Its a learned habit, a defense mechanism which does more harm then good. Stuttering is the oroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. I read out loud slowly everyday for an hour, and do 20 minute positive mantras at least 2 times a day. This helps create fluency memories in my brain. I try and limit my stuttering as much as possible by just not talking, which limits stuttering memories. I believe with time, i can rewire my brain and get the snake to stop eating its tail. I can end this learned habit if i put in the work. "Accepting" my stutter only leads me down a depressive path, id rather try to fix it than do nothing at all.
