Well it's not about how innocuous it is, its about how we feel about it. There are some people who have learned (through practice and work) to become comfortable with stuttering, regardless of fluency and they dont feel like crap when they block. But if you ask me, i'd say stuttering is a deceptively malignant disorder. But the good news is that it's not unbeatable. That alone should indicate that as long as there is a fight to be had, you owe it to yourself to persist. And one day, you could even decide to stop fighting and just walk away from the battlefield. Stutter be damned, you just wont give it the same level of attention anymore. If you're on your last rope and need something different, I highly recommend going to an NSA conference (in America). It can literally change how you see yourself and stuttering. It's done that for many people I know. Keep up. Stay Courageous.
