Train your brain to give zero fucks about your stutter. Easier said than done, i know. Therefore you should take action - you can overcome the fear of stuttering ONLY by actually putting yourself in the feared situations over and over Here's my recommendation on how to overcome the fear/stigma around stuttering (copied from my response to another thread): I recommend voluntarily stuttering. No need to disclose your stutter, unless you r r r really want to. T t t t talk in a slow/comfortable pace, project your voice, l-l-l-lightly but distinctly stutter in few words per sentence, and most importantly 'maintain eye contact'! Practice with store employees, like ask them where the baby d-d-d-diapers are, or if they have any green b-b-b-bananas.

I try to stutter especially saying my name, because thats where i used to fear messing up the most. Because im so confident now, ive not been mocked by anyone lately. Ive built up enough thick skin to deal with mockery anyways, so it doesn't bother me as much as it used to. So The bottom line is: Once you're confident and self assured, nobody will dare mock you on your face. Even if they do, you simply learn to give zero fucks by following the approach i described qbove, and preserve your inner zen.
