It is! But the thing is that people don't care about your stutter nearly as much as you do. We work it up in our heads that we carry the weight of the world with us through our stutter, but others don't see it that way. They have way more stuff going on in their lives and they know we do too. It's not even really so much about not caring what people think. It's about realizing that people don't care how we talk nearly as much as we do.
