Strange fluency on words after someone else says it, does anyone else experience this? This might be difficult to explain but it is almost 100% with me or atleast 95% to be safe. Example situation: I'm anticipating a word coming up that I will have a stutter on or I'm not answering a question because of this anticipation but I know the answer. If someone else says the word or answer I can instantly say that word fluently. The same word I know I was going to stutter on for some reason when repeating or validating someone's response saying that same word comes out fluent. Does anyone else experience this weird phenomenon?
