I just don't think about my stutter. Like, I stammer. What must I do? Any practicing I do at home, all goes to s\*\*t. It is a random occurrence. Just talk like anybody else, maybe slower though and with voice control. Eventually, it lessens over time. Don't spend sleepless nights feeling haunted by the stutter. It does absolutely nothing. Think about maybe how former stutters like Joe Biden have managed to control it now, and try to copy his vocal techniques to talk slowly, yet generally coherently. You also probably have a knack for perfectionism when speaking since for us stutterers, even one stutter equals s\*\*t. You shouldn't. Even normal speakers are really every perfect, and clutter between thoughts and words. All in all, just speak a little more with people, and it will naturally lessen.
