Can someone who stutters or helps improve stuttering explain this to me?

So I stutter normally like it’s what I do. But at home it’s like 10 times worse than in public. Like at home , I can’t say anything. But in public, you can tell I have a stutter but it’s on and off depending on what im doing. If I’m at the register at work it’s bad talking to customers but friends not very bad. Is it anxiety with parents or family? Like I feel like it should be opposite bad in public and good at home. Can someone explain or give me a tip on how to improve my speech at home? I’ve tried every technique and therapy so I’m not sure what to do

Your parents/ family is exactly the reason for it. They know you. People at work only know the you you show them.

So it’s worse around them because I feel comfortable doing it around them?

I mean I don’t feel as judged at home as at work but I don’t feel comfortable because I’m constantly being told to fix it when realistically I can’t just fix it it takes a long time to even make a minor change. Only people I feel really comfortable talking to are my siblings

No. You do it around the house because you are wary of the stutter, and you know they know about it. Talking to me for example in the street or if I turned up where you work. I don't know you so there is no pressure. ALSO and this is another factor. When you talk at home you will have a certain way of talking and that stutter is engrained. When you really concentrate, such as at work you'll find you speak differently.

I never really thought about it like that hmmm so maybe if I think about the stutter less I’ll stutter a bit less possibly. Also true the people don’t know me so there’s not much pressure to do well with speaking. But I have noticed that when I focus on doing something such as sports or scanning at work. I stutter less

You can train your brain to stutter less. My cousin use to stutter badly, now he only stutters when he is referring to his dad. Nobody knows why because he has never been mistreated in anyway.

I stutter sometimes and its about the same when Im around family or around strangers. I've gotten better and its become less frequent but I didn't really do any special training for it though.
