How old are you? My roughest years were in my teens. You do learn to live with your stutter. I used to think a lot of negative things about myself, that I would never be successful, find a girl, etc. Now I am engaged, successful, and overall living a happy life, despite stuttering. I stuttered like hell on the job interview that landed me my current job. Your stuttering bothers you more than anyone else. What makes other people uncomfortable is how you carry yourself and how *you* feel about your stutter. Have you ever tried speech therapy? I went to a weeklong problem at AIS in NYC that literally changed my life - I reccomend you look into that. It took me hitting rock bottom before I could admit I needed help.
