Don't deny yourself the empathy of others. It's a social resource you can benefit from. It helps to talk to people about stuff, and this goes for stuttering too. - If you didn't stutter - if you were a different person - if the world was a different place - who's to say your life would be better? Such thinking is folly. Don't entertain counterfactuals like that. They always break down. Focus on what's real and what can be done. :)
