Totally understandable, but i believe that the more we “want to fix” stuttering, the worse it actually gets. Like shallot mirror described, our response to stuttering can get very intense and advanced. When it gets to that point, we need to fix it. But again, the point isn’t to sound fluent. The point is to speak easily, even if there’s some stuttering. Ideally, there’s no tension or secondary behaviors accompanying the stuttering anymore. The goal of being completely fluent is just not realistic, but that’s okay! If you can desensitize yourself to stuttering, you can live a full life and do anything a fluent person can.
