How the hell do you bring up your stutter to people without it being awkward?

How the hell do you bring up your stutter to people without it being awkward? Usually no one mentions my stutter, I think because they don't want to seem rude. It's just awkward because I've been friends with people were months go by and neither of us ever bring up my stutter. I always have not really liked talking about it and find it kind of embarrassing to bring up, but I think it's really awkward to be friends with someone for months and never mention this elephant in the room. I honestly just don't know how to naturally bring it up without it being awkward. The few times I have mentioned it, it seems to make people feel awkward, probably because I was awkward mentioning it. The thing is I really do want to talk about it with my friends because I feel more comfortable talking once I have mentioned it. Honestly I kind of just wish they would ask me about my stutter so I don't have to be the one to bring it up. I also find it really awkward when I stutter as I'm talking about my stutter.
