I disagree a tiny bit. Just because you got through something doesn’t mean it wasn’t painful, anxiety ridden, humiliating, or embarrassing, among other things it could be. Like yea I’ve gotten to 21 nice. But I didn’t really enjoy it haha so yea I got through it but went through some serious psychological trouble and anxiety due to my stuttering (or just how I view stuttering and when I stutter myself). So it’s good that you can have this view but I really don’t agree with it. I’ve found I have suffered a lot more than my friends for example and that is disheartening but it’s my life
