My problems? I feel so sorry for you in a way that you are so obsessed on feeling as though fluency is far more impressive and what every stutterer "must" achieve instead of accepting that not everybody finds that impressive and doesn't find their stutter to be a problem. You came on my post, disagreed and basically told me to not have ever made this post in the first place when this so-called coach person has *enforced* his ideologies into people's inboxes who didn't ask for his damn help that stuttering is a crime and such a stigma as if I don't have the right to my own freedom of speech to spread awareness that it's much healthier and liberating to not care what people think. Go and "fix" your speech if you wish, you do you, but if someone wants to accept their stutter and not hide it anymore as a massive secret, don't dehumanise them to make them feel they're so crazy and abnormal for choosing to come to terms with it when it's not the same as "giving up".
