In reply to "*can people overcome the problem of stammering where it doesn't interfere with day to day activities?*", in [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/12pruqu/have_you_ever_felt_like_your_stuttering_defines/) poll, 118 people voted for "*Yes, I feel like my stuttering defines who I am*", and 77 people voted for "*No, my stuttering is just a part of who I am*". I leave the conclusion up to you "*whether they have overcome their stuttering problem or not*". In another [poll](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/ob0bj3/i_wanted_to_do_this_poll_just_to_see_for_my_own/), 83 people voted for "*Accept stuttering but want to progress*" (in contrast to 15 people who voted for "*Accept stuttering and don't feel a need to change or don't want to*"). In another [poll](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/usrrsw/how_many_of_you_fellow_stutterers_out_there_have/), most people voted that they have been to a speech therapist. This could indicate that most people at least want to improve their stuttering. Even though most voters in [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/p6p8pz/poll_do_you_consider_yourself_disabled/) poll consider themselves not as disabled.
