100%. There's science behind this too. Human beings by default naturally want congruence. That means they want you to stay the same, in the box they have figuratively put you in. That box shapes your actions, how you speak, when you speak, how expressive you are etc. Even if consciously they say "yes I want to see you grow, I love you." Thats not what their subconscious feels comfortable with. Subconsciously they will act in ways to put you back into the person they know you as. So if you are trying to overcome your stutter and be more authentically you.. creating new experiences with new people will be so beneficial. You can now let show up as a completely new person, let this new perception they have of you, serve you more. If they see you as more expressive, more assertive, more alive, they will want congruence and put subconscious pressure on you to uphold that. Which will be so key to creating a new way of being that will enable you to push past old ways of being and acting. I could go so much more in depth but thats the quick explanation haha. All in all, I'm in favor 🙌
