What especially got me thinking about this theme is that I'm thinking of speaking to someone in a professional capacity and I'm somewhat anxious about what my speech is going to be like talking with this person. My fluency tends to vary quite a lot and I'm thinking that if it'll be bad it messes up what we’re going to talk about and if it’ll be “too good” the way stuttering affects my daily life will not get the appreciation it deserves. It’s a delicate balance and actually it’s quite frustrating to think that it’d be best if I somehow was able to stutter just the right amount.
