If the lie that stuttering does not hold you back let you sleep easy at night then keep on believing that. Besides that our arguement is totally invalid. Stuttering varies widely from person to person and some people live normal lives as if nothing happend and others have killed themselves over it. Of course I PERSONALLY accept my stutter but that doesnt mean i automatically become oblivious to the massive impact its had on my life. In fact I didnt even know I stuttered until people around me made me aware of it. Like that, I experience situations that prove otherwise on a daily basis. So no. My fears and insecurities are deep seated in reality and something that just exists in my head.
