I don't see what examples/answers here do not fit my definition that stuttering is likely the same for everyone but their feelings, fears, doubts, etc in a given moment in a given situation and so on are what is different while we are all susceptible in the same ways depending on our comfort level and so on. With respect again, I think you are answering a question, maybe one that you come across from the general public but not my question. For instance, believe it or not, with public speaking, my greatest fear was no stuttering but shaking, this actually override my fear of stuttering to where I didn't really stutter in the public in class rooms I was so worried and preoccupied over the visible shaking that tended to happen to me. This may be something unique to my own feelings and so on but doesn't mean I am not susceptible to stuttering all the same as anyone who is severe or seemingly less so. I still stuttered and blocked very severely over the phone and in one on one conversations. My sales experiences were actually me faces those one on one conversations with phone calls and cold knocks all over again and realizing years later when I thought I was long over it, I was still susceptible just as severely as when i was younger only to get used to it and find comfort in it all over again. Thanks again and maybe I should ask you differently, what do you disagree with from my original statement?
