I say the word “like” a lot when I feel a stutter coming and shut my eyes. Once I started driving around 6 or so years ago I stopped shutting my eyes when I stuttered because obviously I had to focus on the road. I still do it sometimes though when not behind the wheel and though I have stopped using filler words so much they still pop up from time to time. I have stuttered since I was about 9 or 10 y/o and am now 24. I have tried talking slower, in a song song voice, and even talking in a monotone voice like all the speech therapists have said and they never served as a permanent fix. Just temporary.
