As I said in one of my earlier comments, there is insane amount of toxic positivity in this sub as much as toxic negativity. Both are bad and unrealistic. I guess most of those comments come from mild or occassional stutterers. Severe stuttering is really a different issue. Now, if your stuttering is pretty severe, unfortunately this will define you every social context for all your life. Not all people, but some people even might look down upon you, they might make you feel inferior and incompetent. These are real possibilites for severe stutterers, unfortunately. These are saddening facts but I think it is more ethical to say the truth rather than promising false hopes to vulnerable people, especially to young people. Having said that, I think what you can only guarantee is your own mind. Your own mindset, beliefs and perceptions about yourself. Your mind might be stable and serene whatever the other people think about you or whatever the external circumstances are. You can't be sure about other people's emotions or reactions.
