Stutter is not gaugeable. You cannot say “I have a lil bit of stutter”. You either HAVE it or DON’t. End of story. Now. for people saying “I stopped caring what people think”, I’d say that it’s a good step, but the reality is: You still have stutter. You either should treat it, or else you are just lying to yourself that you “overcome” your stutter. Also, treatment won’t happen by yourself alone. Imagine someone with bad mindset wants to change him/herself through consuming self-improvement content. We, stutterers, need someone outside of this dark pit who can help us come out of it by giving us hints and lighting our way up! And the stutter’s pit is not a regular one. it’s way more complex than problems like “stress”, “anxiety”, etc. Because it IS responsible for all of those problems/mindset. We need a group of people, along with a leader who does not have stutter themselves. So, working on your “stress”, “worrying”, etc. is like fixing the outcome of the root problem. The actual problem will reproduce all those things and you end up where you’ve already been in the first place. The main problem that the community of stutterers are facing is the lack of knowledge of the actual problem. Instead of being sensible, “scientists” are blaming your genetics, your brain, and they tell you that you have a physical problem. Hence they disappoint you from believing that this problem has a fine life-long solution. It’s really strange to me that with all these years of research and findings, the president of the United State of America (Joe Biden) still has this problem! and people blame him for being old or having Alzheimer :)) He has stutter. he tries to avoid stuttering at any cost, being looked down to and humiliated for his so called age. Also, fluency is not the factor of having stutter. it might be just 20% of the way. A stutterer’s mind is full of unsolved shit. Due to having bad memories of speaking in certain situations, the stutterer might want to convince themselves or others that he/she has overcome the problem. And this, my friend, shows how insecure that person really is! Take this as an example: If I am rich, I don’t really see myself having the need to yell it out. Instead, I prefer spending my money to enjoy myself, or if I’m ambitious I wanna make more. But, if I am poor and the kind that doesn’t believe he/she could get rich in anyway (deep-down in mind), in that case, I crave to LOOK LIKE the rich person. I spend my savings on buying luxury stuff that could potentially be a tool for me to show off my financial power. But the truth is: I am broke af.
