Yeah, when you accept it as a part of you things start to smoothen out, not speech wise but in situations like these. One thing I learned back in the 8th grade was to make fun of myself before other people could. For example, when I stutter I stop and quote a movie I forgot the name to. “T-T-T-today Junior.” Great ice breaker and it lets people know you’re comfortable with your stutter. Once you take that power away from them, it hurts a lot less and you feel more comfortable talking to others. Hope this helps homie!
