Whats something you had to accept (related to stuttering obv) Ill start. Had to accept that i will not be as easily lovable as some people. Like this friend, hes so lovable I literally fell in love with him the first time we interacted (am 100% straight so not that kind of love). Kids where we live are always on him. It has nothing to do with anything besides his ability to speak and just being interested in people. Wish i had that. On the other hand i dont even speak to the kids bcs i fear i might scare them lol. I dont speak unless i really have to and people cant just love you, you have to show interest in them most importantly by speaking to them.
