A strange type of stutter I’ve never seen in anyone else Hi everyone — I’m pretty sure my stutter is strange, not because of trauma or social anxiety. I still stutter when I talk to myself or even when I sing. My family noticed it when I was about 3. My aunt (now 65) has stuttered since childhood, and my sister (36) still stutters. I tried a low dose of an antipsychotic and my stutter improved by about 95% — it basically disappeared, except during phone calls because I get nervous about them lol.
