Thank you man, I understand that it's in my hands to change my view on stuttering, and I'm trying, despite me stressing about it. I do believe as you grow older, people are a lot more thoughtful and less judgy about this which is definitely helpful. I was also able to make good friends after my teenage years because no one told me "talking with you gives me stress" any more. And in college everyone go through their own problems and they are mature enough to be supportive and kind.
