Am I a “true” stutterer?

Am I a “true” stutterer? I’ve seen people here say “people who cure their stutters aren’t true stutters with a real physiological condition” I personally don’t stutter when I’m talking to myself, and sometimes if I enter a “flow state” I don’t stutter, and I stutter a LOT less with close friends/relatives I’m comfortable around. So maybe I’m not a true stutterer and it’s just a phycological anxiety thing and I CAN cure it!
