I feel the same exact way. I don't use tricks or workarounds any more with strangers than I do with people I'm close to, I just find that I stutter on more words and sounds with them than with strange...

Alright. Well, we all have "social masks", so perhaps the ones you use for non-comfortable situations are further removed than you think. It's really fickle trying to suss that stuff out, because stu...

I don't get that pattern. Stutter varies in all possibilities (stutter or not with or without comfortability). Are you by any chance using any tricks to avoid stutter when not around people you're co...

Worried that people may think I’m faking my stutter I’ve been stuttering for years and my stutter is very unpredictable in its nature. Some days I stutter, other days just a bit or maybe not at all. S...

I'm speaking quite generally, talking about my lived experience. I just don't think there will be a cure. Personally, my stutter is significant better when I'm in a more positive mental state. So keep...

It doesn't have to be caused by anything in particular. Most stutterers I think will recognize the ebb and flow. Perhaps more important, when it gets worse, is a way of managing it in general. Did yo...
