Well, you stutter. So do I. But I don't hide it. There's simply no reason to. People have all sorts of traits - some of them are convenient, some are less convenient, and some are outright hindrances. That doesn't mean we should cover up those traits we don't fancy. This makes no sense, when you think about it. Why should you struggle to appear as something you're not? That's like self-torture! So yes, you'll have to worry about stuttering. But that's fine, because that just means you'll be able to deal with it and improve your quality of life. It's not embarrassing. It's just a thing that happens to some people. Lots of things happen to lots of people. We need not pretend it doesn't.
