Fluency is what we hear everyday in our lives. It's what is natural for all, that is except us!!!

So, why don't we talk like any average person does???

Any other average person could stutter too, but they don't.

So why do we???

I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm just wondering why are "talking" is not like the rest of the fluent world...

You're posting a bit here, aren't ya Happy? Heheh. Good for you.

I can't tell you why some people stutter and others don't...I think it's a misfiring of the brain, and I definitely think it's genetic (my dad also stutters, though his has improved with age and it was never as bad as mine I think), it's also exaccerbated by stress and tension and certain social situations, even if you're not consciously aware of it...
