Stutterers have loads of abnormalities in their brains and various deficits related to that. Frankly, propagating this social anxiety myth only hurts us by encouraging morons who think that we are a joke and that curing stuttering is as easy as relaxing and not being shy. Most stutterers only have social anxiety because their stutter made them experience many terrible situations when speaking with people. Edit: For the poster above that blocked me (lol), I didn’t say that social anxiety is a joke, I said that there are morons who think so and they make our lives more difficult. Even well meaning people give bad advice because of that myth, however.
