Does anyone else stutter badly around certain ppl like close friends/family, but around strangers you talk fine or ur stutter isn’t as noticeable I’ve been stuttering my whole life and it’s usually bad when I’m talking to my mom, my sister, my brother, and my bsf. But when I’m talking to strangers at work, or co workers. I don’t stutter as much. I think maybe it’s because with my friends and family I let my guard down because I know there’s no judgment, but with strangers I try harder to articulate my words? Idk
