Hiya, I'm in my 2nd year as well! I do agree that worrying about this can be rational, but I don't see why it would have any effect. I've decided that I wanna tutor people as a side job, probably 4-5 years ago I would have never thought that I would have balls to do this, I mean it's a topic that I know very well, so that may help. As for the relationship, I believe you simply use it as a filter, if they don't accept it, move on, next, because honestly I would never bother with someone who can't truly accept me flaws if you even consider stuttering to be one. Again, this could be subjective, because mine is like mild to moderate, but generally mild, I've noticed no one notices before I tell lately, maybe it's my mentality evolving, living alone has done so much good 💪 I believe there were some times when I thought something is wrong with me, but perhaps not anymore, I also got back to working out, that helps a lot, I believe you just need to focus on putting the extra anxiety somewhere else, like getting it out during gym sessions and so on, again, doesn't mean I don't get anxious before presentations, I think I've accepted that I'll get this for the rest of my life. I think I can bravely say that I live a normal life.
