I would disagree with your statement that " Even if you didn't stutter you'd most likely be who you are now, just a shell, a weak shadow of what you could have become if you stopped being self destructive, negative and judging coward." As someone who can't remember a life without stuttering (I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone here) I would imagine my life would have gone much differently if I didn't stutter. It had such a profound negative impact on my life growing up that there's no way that I can accept your claim to be true. Positive thinking is fine and all but it doesn't solve everything
