I can tell you my life changed once I stopped letting my speech control what I do. Be honest with people and show them your speech doesn't bug you, and it won't bug them-- if you want to, give them a preemptive mini-explanation that, hey, I have a stutter, I'm not having a stroke, it's all good, just a quality of the way I speak. I've found that people overall react to your own comfort level, and their body language will match yours. Overall, I can tell you that you can get comfortable with how you talk, and stop letting it control you. If you stutter through an order at a restaurant, keep doing it. The first few times will feel cruddy, but eventually you'll begin to enjoy the fact that you didn't let your fear control you, and that will matter **much** more than what some stranger working at a restaurant thinks of you. And remember, they don't know you stutter. That helps me. When I know they are expecting me to speak typically, I often do. Take your mind off the speech and put it on the function of your words. Go into a social situation thinking about how awesome you are and how they can't wait to hear what you have to say, that helps me a lot too. Anyway, that's just my late night rambling thoughts, hope some of it helps.
