Similar situation, I have done a lot of work by myself to work through my speech issues and can hide it or work around it depending on my emotional state. When I’m relaxing with friends i can usually enter this mode and go silent and stop mid sentence if i sense a word is stuck. Every time i confront someone who has mocked my stutter they develop amnesia and claim they have never heard me stutter and “would never mock someone’s disability.”
