No one is here saying to be pessimistic. We need to be realistic instead of being toxic positive. This super positive attitude will crush you later in life when u realize u didn't achieve what u wanted in life. For majority severe stutterers having the same life as a normal person is out of reach. That is why we need to think what are the realistic goals we can achieve and doing that. That is how you win, not by saying all u need is to be positive and ur stutter will go away and u will achieve anything u want no matter how crazy it is. Life is a race and we are running with broken legs.
