Granted I have been stuttering nearly my whole life, but I am 20M and it took me until very recently that it's better to stutter through something then to let it be left unsaid. I'm still not the best at implementing this, but I at least now recognize it. So many opportunities I have missed because I did not want to speak and end up stuttering. Just go for it. You will exit the situation as a stronger person and it actually makes a great way to weed out people that you do and don't want to associate with. If the people you speak to do end up being assholes, good. They exposed themselves with something silly like a stutter and you didn't have to learn about their dark side in a more significant way. And I truly believe that simply doing more talking will lead to more fluency. I just wish I could bring myself to do more talking. And coincidentally a week or so I became an ordained minister so I could read the vows at my best friend's wedding, simply because I think a stuttering minister would be funny. I have faith you can do this.
