**Reply #3a:** What you’re saying is completely natural, and I will try to make a video about it. But the foundation of stuttering comes down to two things: First: controlling rhythm. That’s why singing, or anything that regulates rhythm, can eliminate stuttering. Notice that if you repeat speech after someone, you won’t stutter at all. Second: something many people don’t realize, but it’s actually a core part of stuttering—anticipation. Unfortunately, a person who stutters often expects the stutter. This is one of the brain’s distinctive features: it predicts what will happen next and builds an internal model based on that. So inside your mind, you tell yourself, “I will stutter,” and then the stuttering happens. The solution is not difficult, but it is exhausting. **Reply #3b:** sorry, I disagree with both the points. Repeating after someone creates additional pressure to say the exact words which increases anxiety which increases stuttering. Second, true but not necessarily true. People stutter in different situations and dont stutter. "I will stutter" is anyways always there.
