You're probably not thinking/worrying about your speech as much. As such, you dont trip yourself and likely have lower anxiety. Often, the more we care about our speech and not stuttering, the more emphasis we put on it and the harder we try to not stutter, resulting in..wait for it....increased stuttering (and likely stress).
