I think I'm like most stutterers who've been stuttering for years and years - sort of comfortable with it most of the time, a bit annoyed at other times, a bit embarrassed at other times. But overall, fine and dealing with it alright, because it's pretty familiar and not much unexpected tends to happen anymore. I also think a lot of us decide to be stubborn at some point or other - choosing what we want to say and then sticking with it, even if that word gets stuck. It's still the word we wanted, and we're not going to change it, because we've tried that many times earlier in our lives. It's not satisfying. Better to stick with our intent. As for my posts in here - I just want to aid people in reaching other ways of thinking about themselves and their stutter. If you can use it for anything, that's great! For both of us. :)
