> I've even found I stutter when talking to myself, almost more. There's one more thing I'd like to talk about, in regards to this. As I've said before, I also have this habit of talking my thoughts through in the privacy of my room. There's this insight that came to mind, recently... that one's ideas come together over time in bits and pieces... and then all of a sudden, things will crystallize for you, and they'll come out in one piece. For example, this could happen when you're journaling, or writing essays for personal enjoyment. If one is using an oral self monologue when pulling together your ideas... you may see **"seams."** And these "seams" are where I see that I am prone to stutter. If you think about it, it makes sense. If you were thinking vaguely about an idea one week, and then you continued that thought process the next week... and on the third week you actually write down the sum total of what you were musing about... there won't be a firm continuity between the 1st and 2nd week's musings... because there was a stopping place, in between. So, if I'm aware that there's a seam there, I can roll with the effect and recover in my private oral self monologue in a way that feels very natural, and is very similar to what I see ordinary people doing when they recover after finding themselves tongue tied. Does that at all feel like it matches with what you've observed in your own experiences?
