Well, I mean, there are a various tracks we could follow in this topic. • One is how we do often tend to be most harsh on ourselves, but that's probably understandable, because we're the ones experiencing most intimately how we can diverge between intention and result. And yet, everyone in principle diverges (stutter or not). • Another is that some stutterers do struggle more than others, simply because their case of it is more severe. If we look at it sort of criterially, someone who goes on Twitch and makes a living out of it, probably isn't someone who can be said to struggle with it a lot. As a contrast, someone who stays at home all day and avoids people probably struggles more with it. • Yet another is that I don't think many of us would like to become a _spectacle_. Stutter is not something that we see a lot of people "employ" as an entertainment thing. We see stutterers succeed despite stuttering - which is a very good point indeed, but again, see above with regards to struggle - but actually making it into a thing that draws the crowd is not common. I don't think we can say that all of us would like that specific kind of attention. • And still another is that we certainly have a mindset component, that we can work on and improve, just like stutter in general. Some might be in a context where they manage to get a better grip on the emotional/existential side of things, but some might not be so fortunate. It's not like we can magically will ourselves into just not caring or just always being happy anyway, but we can certainly try to understand our stutter, and to frame it in such a way that it doesn't become insurmountable to us.
