Yes, exactly. I had a hard time during my teens and twenties because I tended to think to much about my appearance in conversations rather than actually having conversations. This in turn made me seem closed off or arrogant when I was simply just afraid of taking. I decided to stop being afraid and just talk. I would rather be seen as a stutterer than being arrogant or closed off. This in turn has only made me speak more and in turn stutter less because I relax way more in conversations. I will stutter, yes, but I am way better at controlling it. And hey, it’s just a stutter. Good people won’t care.
