I just started to disclose my stuttering. I'm currently in AIT, and I have to do a lot of reading out loud and presenting. I thought I was messing up a lot, so after one presentation I disclosed that I have a stutter. I was met with "I didn't even notice" and stuff like that. After disclosing it that one time, I started doing it more. This has allowed to become more comfortable with my stuttering tbh. It shouldn't be something you're ashamed of. It's something that's here to stay, and if I feel like a particular person is here to stay, then I'll let them know. If it's a problem, then that isn't a person you should be around anyway. But, so far, it has never been a problem. Even when dating.
