1. **Can you speak without stuttering when you’re alone?** Yes 2. **Do you speak fluently when you aren’t thinking of your stutter,** Sometimes. I have fluent days, sometimes for weeks at a time. Whether or not I'm thinking about it has nothing to do with what makes a day fluent or terrible or anywhere in between, or kicks off a bad patch - I have enough good days now that I don't think about it until it happens most of the time. 3. **and does thinking of stuttering cause you to stutter?** No 4. **Do you know when you will and will not stutter on a word?** Usually yes 5. **What makes your stutter better or worse?** **Worse:** Group situations, time pressure in general but particularly in group situations (need to speak quickly before people interject, the subject changes, etc), people speaking over me, stress and fatigue to a point but not as much as those contextual/social things **Better:** In some situations, if I can paraphrase (e.g. I generally do fine with public speaking but volunteering to read out names for an award ceremony was a terrible idea because you can't paraphrase, change the order, etc if stuck on a name)
