Being a stutterer means NOBODY will take you seriously. In the back of everyone's mind, you will always be known as the "guy who stutters" and just like that, you have instant negative status in the eyes of girls, employers, everyone who knows you. Negative status means less opportunities for casual sex because girls will be less receptive to you. Less job opportunities. Less party invites in high school and college. It's one big chain reaction. Pretty much your entire quality of life takes a nosedive. Having a noticeable stutter in this day and age results in a negative feedback loop that destroys your life little by little. You cannot escape this fact. If you're lucky enough, you were born extremely handsome or rich which might alleviate some of the social consequences of your speech impediment. Otherwise forget it guys. We've been fucking scammed.
