Stammering is a neurodevelopmental condition, but its severity and impact also depend on cognitive and psychological factors. It interacts deeply with who you are, how you think, and how you respond to the world. Your personality type can influence whether you tend to rush words, avoid situations, overthink or feel pressure to please others. By recognizing these patterns, you can understand what amplifies your stammer and what strategies best suit your natural style. The goal is not to change your personality but to align your speech journey with it making growth smoother, more natural, and sustainable and adopt strategies that work for you, not against you.
