I do believe that the only person responsible to get out of this toxic thinking cycle is you. As someone told me 'Don't think being the only one at a disadvantage. Other people wish they could X or Y, but they can't'. While I don't agree that comparing to others is a good thing, it can provide a slight insight on others' pain. Hopefully this makes sense. I'm 20 myself, out of high school now, in university, have a friend at university that also stutters. So far, I haven't had any difficulties with stuttering in university, or job interviews for that matter.
