Remind yourself that people probably like you, they might just be surprised by your stutter and need time to adjust. If you expect people to like you and keep opening up to them, they will like you. Smiling helps. When you stutter, smile and keep making eye contact, just keep the conversation going. If you’re not embarrassed by your stutter, they won’t think it’s a big deal. Give people a chance! Even if they respond badly at first, give them time.
