i agree with you. "not accepting" your stutter doesn't mean you hate yourself, it means you can't quite accept the fact that this is how it'll be for the rest of your life. they use the logic of that negativity brings nothing but more negativity, and that accepting your stutter is something positive and will change your outlook or point of view or something. even though not accepting your stutter isn't exactly negative. besides, i can't accept my stutter. if i accept my stutter, i accept adapting to being lonely, which is well, pretty bad. edit: actually now that i think about it, i did accept my stutter. i accepted the fact that there isn't a way to improve on it, so i don't get my hopes up and so if it was told to me that it can't improve i would accept it more easily. i don't know if you can really call it accepting your stutter, didn't feel like it. it just felt like the logical thing to do
