How would I approach another stutterer as a pretty mild stutterer? How would you want to be approached by someone that is a stutterer but doesn’t stutter much at all compared to others, but can still relate to all the pain and anxiety it brings? Would you think I’m bullshitting you by saying that I’m a stutterer as well and then Proceed with speaking without a stutter? Would you like me to just bring it up suddenly after I notice you’re a stutterer? I’m asking this because I’ve never met another stranger that is also a stutterer. And I would like to know how to approach that situation if I ever come across it. I’ve had a stutter since around 5th grade, I’m 22 now. The last year I’ve managed to reduce my stutter SIGNIFICANTLY by changing my speech pattern
