Bro I share the same kind of stuttering as you. I pause until I get the word out or I change the word to one I’m more comfortable with. I get really bad tension in my face and I even have a line next to one of my eyes permanently from this 😩 sometimes I’m hard on myself because I feel like it probably looks like I’m stupid. I’m glad I started looking for other people that have this. I don’t feel so alone anymore
