As a 21-year-old stutterer, I completely understand what you're going through! I had a stutter all my life and it brings me great anxiety each and every day. I am currently a senior in college and currently I feel very stressed about my future. I have aspirations to do great things but my stutter has held me back a great deal. I would consider myself to be outgoing but lately, I have had a rough time getting through the day. Class is the most stressful time of the week because the professor wants everyone to talk and participate. When I speak I am always self-conscious about what other people think of me. My advice to you is that you are not alone and there are thousands of stutters out there who are going through something similar. There is really no cure for stuttering but the one thing we can do is to just simply not care what people think. As you may already know, there are and have been famous people in this world who struggled with stuttering. It's definitely a pain in the ass, but you are capable of living a successful life with the stutter. Feel free to reach out to me!
