Hey ! > Since then, I literally tell people (including girls) that I stutter. Even if I'm at a bar talking to a girl I don't know I'll let her know I stutter, usually in a joking way. I read everywhere that I have to tell people I stutter... But man, it's hard ! I know I have to try it because I will feel better, but I don't know how I can put it in a conversation... >I'm not sure how old are you but when you get to my age (21), I highly doubt anyone will make fun of you. I would be lying if I told you that people made fun of me, but I sometimes see smiles on their faces. I also hate it when they look at me with pity ( I guess it's pity) Anyway thank you very much for your answer !
