I mean in a way we are different. But who is “normal”? Everyone is very different and just because you can’t see what their problems or flaws are doesn’t mean they don’t have any. Being a stutterer it’s so easy for people to see our flaw because it’s on the surface. Hard to hide stuttering unlike other people’s flaws. As a little kid I always thought my burden was the hardest of all and everyone else’s life is so easy, but once you get older there are so many other things that are 10x worse. There’s a quote that goes “If we all threw our problems in a pile, you’d grab yours back”.
