Stutter variance is quite the thing, yes. It'll vary depending on context - your situation, the people, the topic, your mood, how much you've slept... all factors in. All people have "social masking"...

Try having a severe stutter and an identical twin (without one) who is your worst bully ever about it. I’d give anything for a mild stutter as you describe. Despite it, I’ve achieved very well persona...

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like our stuttering is pretty similar. Generally mild but the flare ups can be bad. I know when I’m nervous or on the spot mine gets worse. I’m sick of settling for copin...
