Everything feels like a humiliation ritual

Everything feels like a humiliation ritual I had an interview today. I would say it went well except for one of the interviewers trying not to laugh at me because of my stutter. I've been trying not to think about it. I've dealt with this all of my life. I'm a healthcare worker. I picked a job that requires me to communicate efficiently. My stutter is mild. I have met other people in this field who had it worse and they're out there working. It gives me hope but what happened earlier really got to me. I'll always wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't born like this.
