> it means that it's not physical, but only in your head That's not what this means. If there was one misconception of stuttering I could nuke from wide orbit, it'd be this one right here, lol. Except for very, very, very rare cases, the root cause of stuttering is not psychological or emotional in nature. A stutter has psychological and emotional elements, but no more than anything else. (I feel like I say this a lot here, so I'm sorry to all the people reading this going, "ugh, we know!") But it's important people know and accept this, not just PWS but especially PWDS. "It's all in your head" or "it's just a bad habit you need to break out of" are incredibly frustrating myths to be met with as a stutterer, as the world at large believes we are responsible for our disfluency. Then we go on for years and years beating ourselves up and trying to 'break the habit' or change our emotions, but we fail, because it's not a habit and it's not possible to completely rid ourselves of emotion. The hardline distinction between people who stutter while alone and people who don't is entirely fallacious. It's just a scale of severity and characteristics. It's like how my stutter is mostly repetitive while yours can be mostly blocks. It's a difference in *how* we stutter, but not a difference in us *as* stutterers.
