I stutter but not normally Hey guys this is my first time here, I've stuttered since I've been 5. When i was a kid i stuttered normally like anyone else who suffers with stuttering would. I would get stuck on a word and then repeat it multiple times before i broke through the cycle and this would happen regardless if i'm alone or speaking with multiple people. 2 years ago suddenly this stopped and for a while I could talk with gorps of people without stuttering at all, I thought i was cured, I even joined our schools debate team and won a few awards. But at the beginning of 2020 the stutter came back, with one massive difference, **I Would stutter when talking with other people, but when i was alone or thought i was alone i could speak as fluidly as any other person** What is this, it dose not make any sense. How con i talk normally when alone but stutter in front of other people, is this normal or is something going on here. is it psychological? ​ Btw, i forgot to mention i don't get stuck on words anymore eighter i just can't let the word out of my mouth like its stuck in my throat
