"Just stop caring"

"Just stop caring" What I don't like about this piece of advice is that it's impossible to be carefree when speaking because stuttering causes blocks, which creates a *physical* discomfort. That in turn causes visible agitation. Like, tell a fluent person who has a rope tightly wound around their torso and an obstruction blocking their throat to just .. relax! Edit: and can we start to use the flairs please??
