Whatever the ratio is, Self compassion and a little humour helps. Sometimes I’m just more disfluent than others, and vice versa. My therapist (he also stuttered) told me once before a phone job interview, years ago when stuttering was unmanageable for me, to stutter as much as possible and on purpose. It was actually easier cause I wasn’t fighting it as much. Sometimes choosing to stutter takes the sting away. Be grateful when you do and grateful when you don’t. Stuttering is the most humbling experience when you really think about it. I feel we are all really nice people cause we know what it’s like to be so fundamentally different. Good luck.
