I have been focusing in self acceptance and building up my social skills/confidence for the past couple of years and really I am much happier than when I was focused on improving my fluency. The way I see it, the reason stuttering upsets people so much is because they're not able to interact well with others. So, if I focus on being comfortable with my stuttering self and learning social skills despite the stutter, then the stutter just becomes a minor inconvenience.
