It all boils down to fearlessly accepting and or owning the fact that you stutter, and also accepting the reality that not all social interactions will be great ones. (There’s many external factors that influence how others will interact with you. Most of them not having anything to do with you or your stutter.) There’s a sense of freedom when you stop obsessing over arbitrary successful social prerequisites that we tend to put on ourselves. Once you allow yourself to sink into your being, your personality really starts to shine through. Having the chance for others to experience you for who you are and not by what your stutter allows you to show is, in my opinion, what you’re really getting at and what’s most important. Charisma starts with being in tune with yourself. And that’ll allow you to be in tune with others. Hope this helps in any way (:
