for me no. I would be exactly the same. I wish majority of people who stutter had the same luck as me. honestly i was spared from bullies. i don't know why? i got teased a little bit here and there but by people i know, well more like by acquaintances than actual friends. which is why they remained acquaintances. so because i didn't really get bullied i actually got to grow up having self confidence cuz it was never truly treated like a problem. but i know if i was placed in a different school or a different class or a different place, things could have been different. i did a 3-part series about it. here's part 3 which i think is the funniest. [https://youtu.be/fYS6a\_QX4YQ](https://youtu.be/fYS6a_QX4YQ) ​ now i definitely have been embarrassed and very apologetic at one point in my life but not i don't say i'm sorry anymore when i stutter i just pretend i didn't and keep talking. plus i used to fear because i wasn't being bullied that people were doing it behind my back and i used to wish people would just do it to my face. although i never had any proof of this. ​ there's a lot of words to this day that i just cannot say no matter how hard i try. lol
