It wasn't mild all the time. I've had my days where I couldn't speak at all. Ignoring it does help. Why would you keep trying to think about it? For me it would just make it worse. But at the end it's your choice on how you choose it will effect your life. Most of the posts I read here are useless because people always end up making excuses. Yes my stuttering isn't severe, but I know that feeling of a brick wall mind state blocking every word your trying to get out.
