Yooo this is honestly the most relatable post I’ve seen on this sub fr. My stutter is also mainly anxiety-based. I had a mild one since I was a kid, but it got way worse because of anxiety. Just like you said, I’ve noticed I can talk way more fluently when I’m not thinking about my words, triggers, or feelings. If I’m just focused on the conversation, the confidence goes up and the anxiety drops a lot. The problem is I can’t always get into that flow state, and when I can’t, I fall back into the old habits like blocks and repetitions. Those habits are tough to break. I also still get anxious when talking to people I’m not comfortable with, like strangers or teachers. That pattern is still there, and overcoming it is the hardest part for me. I’m only 17 though, and I’m working on it. I really want to become the version of myself that isn’t afraid to talk.
