I admit it to the person I'm talking to only after I stutter in front of them so that they don't think I'm mentally handicapped. Usually goes like this: >Me: *stutter occurs* >Me: "Sorry, I have a stutter. Certain words are hard for me to say." >Me: *continues speaking* That usually disarms the "what the fuck was that" look that people give you when they first hear you stutter.
