I get what you're trying to do, but no, stuttering isn't good. Living with a stutter is hard and a mental and physical struggle fluent people will never understand. But it's okay to stutter. It's the way we talk and we can only do so much to control it. What's important is that we don't beat ourselves up about it and devalue ourselves because of it. We, more than a lot of people, MUST put ourselves out there to avoid falling into deep depression and self-doubt, and simply move on from shallow-minded people. We only have one life and we must make the most of it, no matter the hand we've been dealt.
