I don't think this is ridiculous neither i saw any condescending tone. Also i don't think that anyone is here to judge others. We are here to share our thoughts, views and support. I believe that this stance is the main problem wirth stuttering. I catch many times my self thinking that i am uncapable and i can't control my life. This is the time when you decide to keep pushing or you give up and go back to your old behaviours. The choise is yours
