Relatable, coming from a moderate-severe stutter. Another thing I hate is that people treat stuttering like it’s so easy to cure. And you’re right about the celebrities. The only celebrity I know that has a visible stutter is George Springers. But the other ones either had normal developmental childhood ones that they either grew out of, or their stutters are so mild you can’t even tell. And they always spread the message of “curing” stuttering. “Believe in yourself and it will go away” “Stuttering is curable” “It’s purely mental” I can’t even talk with my siblings and parents without them not being able to understand me. I have to constantly repeat myself or they just tell me to start over and slow down. I can’t talk on the phone or use devices that require voice. Ordering is hard. I have to point to what I want because I block so bad. My jaws have physically locked because I stuttered so bad, like I can’t move them. Sometimes I can’t breathe and I end up drooling because of my stutter. My head hurts, my throat burns, and my neck and jaws ache. And like you, I have the neurological one. I stutter no matter what. When talking in a mirror, to babies and animals, when alone, when thinking out loud, when reading, no matter what. I agree on everything you say. These advice could work on people who’s stuttering is anxiety-caused or mild enough, but it’s definitely not going to work on neurological moderate-severe stutters, probably not even mild ones.
