How can people like their stutter?

How can people like their stutter? I just don't get this. I hear success stories from so many people who have made true acceptance with their stutter, with themselves. These are the people who no longer let stuttering control them, who can live their life how they want. Often, I'll hear these people say something like, "I like my stutter because it has shaped who I am and taught me to have patience and be patient with others. It makes me unique." This is all well and good but I ask again: How can you like your stutter? How can you like the tightening in your chest? How can you like the closing of the vocal folds? How can you like shallow breathing and high anxiety? How can you like that feeling of gasping for air to get a sound out at the end of your exhale? How can you like the secondary behaviors you need to do to get a sound out when you have a major block? ​ I understand that psychologically people can learn to not care so much about what people think of their stutter and maybe that lowers the anxiety a bit. But what about that physical feeling? The movements you need to create to make sounds? Those movements suck. I just don't get how people can like their stutter? I hate all the sensations I mentioned. I hate feeling that way when I need to speak. I'll just be blunt and say it: I hate my stutter and I don't think I'll ever like it. Stuttering just flat out sucks! And I have been through speech therapy. I know how to make fluent speech. I know the tools. That's beside the point though. Just in general (speech therapy or not), how can you like your stutter?
