It’s interesting, the stutterers I know have often been very outgoing, including me. I know I feel like I crank up the “extra funny/extra friendly” energy to put people at ease. Like a guy I met years ago with a very severe stutter that seriously impacted his ability to communicate, and had a pretty wild wardrobe of bright and wacky clothes. I think it helped him break the ice without having to try to talk.
