I think I will never accept my stuttering cuz until rn I only dare make a head-up 'I have a speech impediment', not exactly referring to 'stuttering' and I am all the time dedicated to avoiding stuttering not to reveal I am in this trouble. But just bc I hate my stuttering so I am all the time sparing no efforts to help other PWS online cuz I have great sympathy of what they are facing with and how they are feeling, not to mention I just have mild stuttering. So every coin has its two sides. The good side of hating stuttering is that you can have sympathy of other PWS and that's why we need to build up more and more stuttering support organizations or groups. We PWS are different socializers so we need to set up a different social circle from the normal one and we'd better inspire each other and offer advices, instead of complaining about it like I would rather have AIDS than stuttering, and similar bs. That never is the intention of such organizations and groups and that's always breaking the rules, which I can see from time to time.
