Yah there is definitely nuance there. I was fortunate to have speech therapy when I was younger that helped a lot. More so in knowing or “feeling” when I’m about to stutter and some techniques to try to get ahead of the impending stutter. I definitely think about my speech, maybe a lot of it is autopilot, but stuttering in a conversation doesn’t stick in my head like it used to. I don’t dwell on it I guess. You bring up a good point. I’m not sure you can ever completely adopt a no care attitude. However at the end of the day you have to play the game with the hand you’re dealt. There’s always room for improvement, but I don’t ever see myself being “cured” of stuttering. Maybe completely “not caring” was too strong of a statement.
