Do you allow yourself to stutter around people you just met?

Do you allow yourself to stutter around people you just met? I have a habit of trying to hide my stutter around new people, I often do it without even thinking about it. I'm trying to make an effort to allow myself to stutter early on with new people, because they will find out eventually, so there's no point in trying to hide it to start with. I think it would make talking a lot less stressful if I wasn't constantly trying to hide my stutter. Do you stutter freely around new people, or try to hide it?
