if we were to go about this in a scientific way, we'd note that correlation isn't causation, and we'd want to set up some controls... maybe you're doing it all on your own, you just think it's the mu...

This is absolutely typical. Stuttering is dynamic (it changes) and multifactorial (lots of things influence it). Stuttering is also highly individual, so which factors exacerbate stuttering in per...

Anyone else stutter-free only when they are by themselves/talk to themselves?

Anyone else stutter-free only when they are by themselves/talk to themselves? Just wondering if this is common among all of us. I've stuttered ever since, and I find it weird I don't stutter at all w...
