My mother said my stutter was so bad as a child but I seemed to outgrow it for the most part. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. Mine isn't severe by any means, more of an annoyance. I mostly get stuck on the word The which I hear is quite common. I try to just spit the word out but it's weird it's like I absolutely can't get past the TH part and have to stop talking to reset. I was playing cards with family the other day and had an earbud in listening to music and didn't have one issue for hours until I went to leave and I turned my music off. My stutter came back. Have you ever tried listening to music (something without words) and talking? Apparently it can help like it does people with stutters who sing. I'm really curious if anyone else has had a similar experience listening to music and trying to talk.
