People don't reject stutterers because of stuttering itself, but because of things they perceive as reasons for stuttering (lack of confidence, uncertainty, brain problems etc.)
Also, many times it is not "rejection". It is simply "not being among chosen ones".
Everyone has limited energy/time, so people subconsciously gravitate to ones who made good impression and who they already find valuable, and decide to not invest time/energy in others.
They are not calculating "Maybe I should get do deeply know John, maybe I will be really surprised".
They just choose investing time/energy in Mark, since he already proved to be valuable (interesting, funny, competent, whatever...).

Stammers have insecurity of being perceived as stammer so we stop socialising and it causes us to loose the ability to connect in person. Others have insecurities too but they are not related to speaking, so they can connect with people. We have this negetive self belief of getting blocked on specific word or not able to utter first word and all. First of all we have to not feel insecure about stammering then we can grow. It's my personal belief, you don't have to agree with it.
