Don't focus on other people's reactions to your stutter. The more you anticipate people's reactions to your stuttering the more and more you'll want to control it in an unhealthy way. (hiding it, putting unnecessary pressure upon yourself, getting mad at yourself or others, etc.) I spent many years as a covert Stutterer and wasted many emotions and moments worrying about what other people thought. Be happy with yourself, I know it gets hard but keep on pushing.
