I definitely agree with the self confidence thing. I’m a female and I would consider myself quite attractive so looks do come in handy. However I’d say I’m quite confident and extroverted and although I have a stutter it has not put me down at all. The saying „fake it till you make it” is one to live by. If you act like you have all the confidence in the world you make your stutter seem less significant, and others will start to see that and ignore it just like you do. Genuinely, I think it’s just the way you put yourself out there, no one is perfect.
