I'm 32 now, and I didn't really talk about it throughout all of middle and high school. I was active in class and decently social. College is when it became a major complex as I began to be made fun of for it, and it kind of made me withdraw into being a loner that I am still today lol. But I definitely talk about it more, and how it affects me. I'm more vocal about depictions of stutter in media, and how people can better address those who stutter. So I definitely talk about it more, but I don't have anybody to really talk about it with lol.
