Has anyone felt like half a person because of their stuttering?

Has anyone felt like half a person because of their stuttering? I've always felt like I'm half a person walking around. I don't have the freedoms to do what everyone else does, nor do I have the freedom to have normal conversations with people. So, the version that everyone sees of me is just the half-assed version of me that isn't real. It also kind of feels like you're handcuffed, you're very limited in what you can do.
