For me I'll only have trouble with "t" and "c" sounds when I'm speaking to myself, but it's really minor and unnoticeable. And I might stumble over some words when reading aloud to myself. Whenever ...

Thank you for your input, whenever I leave a voicemail, even if I'm alone, I also find myself stuttering. I think it's the idea that someone will hear my voicemail that triggers it. ...

I also have problems with hello, and h in general. I often use brief variations of words to help me pronounce it fast. One example of a hard word is as you said, "hello". Although I often get a block ...

Yeah, it's not always black and white. Sometimes I stutter because the words kind of go together or I have trouble getting it out, and sometimes I feel like I stutter because I forgot what I was going...
