Edit - Nevermind… for some reason, you are gatekeeping *what stuttering is*! I described the following - ordering a tuna melt when you wanted a hamburger *because of panic blocking* Begging someone to come with you to your dr appt *because of extreme fear of just saying your name at check-in*. Denying a job interview/social invitation bc of fear. Walking away ashamed after *trying to thank a helpful cashier but nothing came out*. Those are all daily realities for some PWS . None of that describes “truly comfortable or proud”
