It’s crazy how we can anticipate stutters coming a few words ahead. I’ve gotten good at changing words or my sentence structure on the fly. I also talk when I’m by myself. I’ll rehearse conversations or practice for job interviews, etc. I can usually talk totally normally until I think about stuttering. And then I stutter. That’s why I think it’s psychological. I only stutter when I’m worried about stuttering.
