Hi Icy-Pilot-7495, yours is an interesting observation. I did a little survey of Reddit users on this very subject (see my post of about 2 months ago), i.e. are PWS actually fluent when alone? The ...

I have a similar story, I used to read aloud in class and answer questions a lot throughout primary school. Then I met a guy who had a stutter and after interacting with him and even imitating him (te...

I feel like the added pressure of having to try and form clear and precise sentences towards another person, in order to have a conversation, makes a stutter worse. As you’d be focusing more on tryin...

I bet when we find ourselves alone in a quiet room with the doors and windows closed, none of us don’t experience any stuttering. It's interesting how the absence of an audience can create such a sens...

I didn’t say the words I blocked on, I just had to THINK of me blocking in order for that feeling in your chest to pop up. So think of you blocking, and when you have that nervous feeling in your ches...
