I agree with your definition of acceptance. And it’s so variable it drives me insane! I’m sure we can all attest to that say we were smooth as can be and were invited to an event or to hang out with a friend, but then that day rolls around and your stutter is bad and… you cancel and isolate more and speak less and get practice less and it spirals… not that we don’t accept the stutter, it’s just that it’s constant work to try to speak. Sometimes we just don’t want to deal with it no matter how much we accept it. I’m perfectly capable of getting through everyday at work or job interviews or phone calls, ordering food, but when it comes to things that aren’t a necessity, you’re exhausted and want a break.
