I appreciate the sentiment and what you’re trying to say with this, but I think this is pretty lackluster bordering on bad advice. Saying “Stop worrying”, “don’t pay attention“ and “don’t care about it” doesn’t help at all, it’s like telling depressed people to “try being a bit happier”. For most if not all PWS (including me), not paying attention to stuttering is an impossibility in conversations, as the stutter dictates when and how you can say certain things.
