I don't know if pretty privilege exists. I'm a girl who stutters but I'm not that attractive. What I do know is that I've always had trouble keeping friends (I have had a good one for 2 years now :) ) and romantic relationships seem out of the question because I can't even keep friends. I'm extremely self-conscious and have a raging inferiority complex. My stutter has been getting progressively worse so my self esteem is shot right now. I'm often really sad and lonely. I hate talking to people because I feel they will judge me and I even find it hard to talk to my friend now because I'm scared she'll leave me.
