Don't let them go away with this. As long as you reflect on your stuttering and explain to others what is going on with you, what do you have to deal with, you'll be acting as the main character. You're open, vulnerable and yet you face your fears. Some might find you weird, but they will do so anyway if you stutter. And a lot of people will like you and find you interesting. Make stuttering something you experience at this moment — not who you are.
