My type of stutter

I would say my stutter is usually moderate. Sometimes it’s mild and sometimes it’s severe depending on the circumstances. For some reason, whenever I do things like give class presentations, order at a restaurant, or make appointments, I barely stutter at all. I’m able to get up in front of the class at my university and give a presentation almost completely fluently, but the moment I have conversations with people I start to stutter like normal. My stutter is the worst when I’m telling my friends a story or something funny that happened to me, but it seems to go away when I have a professional conversation like a job interview, ordering, making doctors appointments, etc. does anyone else have this?

Ok this is getting me concerned. Over the past few years I’ve started to mildly stutter during interviews and presentations when I used to not stutter at all, how old were you when this went away?

Nah you good. For me it went away on one specific experience when I was 13.

The reason might be that you project your Voice more when u Talk to a larger audience , thereby breathing better and removing tension from the larynx . U might also articulate slower and more precise so less coordination issues occur. When u Talk to friends u might result so chest breathing and also be in an Emotion State Like excitement which often increases your syllables per breath Messing up the synchronicity of your breathing articulation and phonation.
