We would not want such reactions from ourselves. One point is that we should not react that way to stuttering at all, because stuttering should not be felt as such a traumatic situation. Another point is that we should not react that way in general - it might indicate there's something we haven't worked through. I'll give you a recent example from my own life. I was talking to a colleague about some work thing (can't remember which), and got really stuck on an _S_ sound, only managing to repeat it many times instead of moving through it. So yes, I gave up - with a visible emote and a sigh - but only for a split second, because I carried on right after and got through it this time. I did not stop talking, I did not leave the conversation, and I did not feel angry or anxious. My focus is on saying what I want to say, and after carrying through with it, I consider it a success - not just because I got through the obstacle, but because I delivered what I meant to deliver. You see what I mean? Even if we fail, that doesn't mean it's all over. We continue.
