>*"Stuttering can be difficult to accept due to external psychosocial factors."* No I meant the opposite haha :D, for example, if we do not experience or feel any general anxiety or psychosocial triggers, yet it seems that we still end up stuttering a lot. I propose that in such a situation (where we are unaware of the psychosocial factors), stutterers often tend to blame neurological factors rather than psychosocial factors However. I disagree with the statement: **"If we stutter but we don't feel social anxiety or anticipation, then it must be MORE neurological."** I disagree Because conditioned stimuli (the conditioning process) is something that has become subconscious.. we forget and are unaware of the "fear of external validation (social rejection)" at moments whenever we don't feel anticipation or social anxiety and yet we still stutter. This fear of social rejection is very subconscious, we have likely learned to avoid thinking about this and we focus on unimportant details to forget about the underlying "fear of social rejection'... But.. however, If a person who stutters (PWS) has experienced too many negative experiences at one time due to stuttering. And he's much affected by it.. then he essentially hit rock bottom. That's the moment he finally stops caring about any value judgements (this includes that he may stop caring about how others perceive his stuttering, or how much he will stutter among his listeners), and that's when he becomes mostly fluent, would you agree? If this is true, then this statement, in my opinion, is blatantly incorrect and false information: statement: **"If we stutter but we don't feel social anxiety or anticipation, then it must be MORE neurological."** (I think this is false information)
