Could you please give any tips on how to reduce stuttering? Hello there. I'm 23 y.o and was born with stuttering. Though I've been living with this thing my whole life I wasn't able to figure out an universal solution on how to make it go easier. I believe I'm just not that affected by it mentally despite it being pretty severe sometimes. But now it starts to bother me since it's not something to affect my life any more. I've noticed a few things on how this works for me: 1. Its seasonal. It gets way worse during Fall and Spring. During Summer and Winter it goes away almost completely 2. I don't stutter or almost don't stutter when talking online mostly because I am focused on doing somethng else like gaming or any kind of activity. 3. I don't sutter when doing roleplay interactions. Mostly online but still I am able to go with full and long conversations and being completely focused on it with no stutters. I am not sure how to apply this experience to real life interactions. I've read about some things like speaking louder or making your voice deep but so far it actually makes things worse. So I am asking for some opinions, tips and tricks on how you deal with similar thing. Not looking for a all-in cure but for something which will at least allow me get my message to people.
