He’s at a place where he’s comfortable with himself and his stutter and you’re being a hater for how he wants to express it? And nowhere here did he say it’s an insecurity. I’m questioning your menta...

Absolutely. In my experience, once you truly accept your stutter, you can gain the confidence to lessen it. At 22, I’m more fluent than I thought I’d ever be growing up...
