You cannot catch a stutter like you would a cold or any kind of disease but as your other answerer's have said you can start to stutter like your friend if your not careful. Sometimes I catch myself using a phrase that I have read and is repeated often in the book. Amazing how we copy others, isn't it?

I don't think you can get it from having friends who stutter. As I read your question I seem to remember an actor who had to portray a person who stuttered. This actor had to learn to stutter and when the production was over did indeed have problems getting over it.

Ever watched a brittish movie or read a british book, like Harry Potter, and go to talk to someone and everything you say comes out in an accent? It's the same deal. You're around studdering so much that your brain thinks thatit is right and that it should do it to. Force yourself not to. It's possible.

Thats a definite Yes, as hanging out with people for long periods of time will cause you to asimulate them by listening to their voices repetitiously. Even words and phrases you never used before will be picked up unkowingly, until you realize it speaking to others. A form of brainwashing I would think.

yeah...you can get it from other people since you hear it so much that you start doing the same thing also without noticing it, then after people will probably start you will start knowing you stutter to......so..i guess you could "catch" it from other people.....Hope i helped you^_^
Good Luck :)

It's probably possible. Just like when you hang around a person and start using the words that they use or if you relocate and your accent changes to be more like the accent in the area you're in.
