I think his original question was: Do I think there is a stigma attached to not serving a mission? There wasn't for me, but I joined the church when I was 26 and they weren't accepting missionaries at that time. I would have loved to have gone on a mission and it's one of my big regrets that I wasn't able to.
You're very free to choose to go or not go. However, I would follow the promptings of the spirit. It's possible that, at the moment, you aren't of the right mindset to be the missionary you could be if you waited.
