Do I tell people I have a stutter? Hey I’m 22, and my stutter has been a battle since I was 8 getting better and worse and so forth, I’ve managed to really improve these past 2 years by just having a lot more maturity and natural overall self confidence, especially nowadays I can go full relationships without stuttering for weeks or even months, the person will look at me with complete shock when I have a big screw up in speech later down the line. it’s always an awkward moment, because I’ve basically never admitted to people I stutter even when my stutter was obvious in the past, theyll either make fun of me for it or act like it didn’t happen, which is obvious on Both sides it definitely did. I think I’m still traumatized from being a kid and getting absolutely ridiculed for it, as well as now being an adult I’m trying to convince myself it isn’t a problem so I don’t like addressing it. I guess I’m asking if it’s such a big deal to just go all out and admit it? (I feel super embarrassed if I were to have to admit it with a lot of friendships knowing it’s been years of conversations with baby mistakes, that I’m sure they’ve noticed)
