I'm so sorry for the way you feel OP. He's right, you need to change your vision on your stutter. This psychiatrist I saw a few years ago changed my vision of my stutter forever: I started to stutter when I was around 8 because my mother shifted and started some serious bipolar shit and became out of control very suddenly. She was loving and protective before that and changed forever after that day and was suicidal and crazy ever since. My psychiatrist told me I should be thankfull for my stutter: this is the weapon I developed to protect myself at the time. It stuck and I still stutter today at 24 (but I learned to control it and it's not so bad today) but I don't have psychological problem today, and I'm a balanced woman (doing a PhD in behavior! My dream job). Now, I alsways try to see my stutter as my shield and try to be thankfull instead of angry and desperate about it! You stutter for a reason, and it's a part of who you are. Most people don't fcking care as soon as it doesn't change or define who you are. You're way more than that and people will gladly accept it if you accept it FIRST and be the person you wanna be
