One thing missing in that image Is “Mind Reading”. I think a lot of stutterers try to mind read what other people are thinking about them whilst they stutter. We tend to think the worst and that can be quite debilitating to us because we are too much in our own heads. In time this exacerbates our anticipatory anxiety in social situations, snowballing into more stuttering and affecting our confidence.
