In my eyes if you identify yourself as a PWS then you acknowledge/accept that you have a speech problem and the next step is working on it. I feel that many people do not accept/acknowledge that they do and hide it instead, in which case working on it is really difficult. I do blame my stutter as well for not having the social life that I want, however, I do not let ruin my life and try everything I can to improve and like to see stuttering as an adversary and conquering it will make me a better/stronger person
