I don’t think you necessarily have to accept your stuttering. I think it’s more like, you should divert your attention to the rewards of socializing with other people. Then you won’t be thinking about the fears as much. But I think there are ways of accepting it, such as doing a lot of embarrassment therapy where you do embarrassing things in public, such as stuttering on purpose exaggeratedly. Or wearing your t-shirt backwards for an entire hour, etc. Over time you might become more desensitized to what you used to feel embarrassed about. Or if someone you’re attracted to calls your stuttering cute, then that might help you too. But then the issue becomes where your brain holds on to stuttering because it makes you feel positive emotions about it. That will be a whole different issue to deal with, but at least it’s better than feeling negative about yourself. Also, how old are you? I’m 25 and the way I see it, we will increasingly become less self conscious as we age. Especially if we can get settled into a decent job and get married. At that point there becomes less and less rejection that can actually hurt us in any practical way.
