I would keep it because I dont see it in a negative way. Dont get me wrong I have my moments were communication is a nightmare. When i really get stuck on a word i make a stupid face that i hate. But it took me along time to accept it and when I did it became part of my personality. I joke about it openly and when I meet new people I'm the one who brings it up. Honestly because of how I act with it alot people tell me how much they respect how I act with the stutter. Best advice I could give another person with a stutter is accept it and make it part of who you are. Once people see that you controll it then they start to see the rest of you.
