It happens. Old fart here. Any freaking thing effects mine, I can be dehydrated and it’ll change my stutter/stammer. It’s crazy eh. Love the people that want to nail it to a single thing (like just slow down bro lol), but dude…. so many variables ime. Oh and shocker, those things that trigger a block often change over time. Fun stuff right? That said. You didn’t ask for advice, but….. just move through and past the “events”. Some of my best memories are when I sucked it up and kicked ass when I needed to. I did some time in the military and lied about my stutter, they never knew. I just did it, had a few issues but never slowed me down. But yeah…. cringe and awkward are just a part of my life, I accpet it. And fuck anyone who has an issue with it imo. Beats being blind or deaf so I figure I’m lucky maybe?
