Well I don’t necessarily think that you consciously are trying to prove to the other person that you indeed stutter. But what I’m saying is that once they find out that you stutter, you internalize that as the identity of your relationship with that person: “I am the stutterer and they are the fluent person.” Then that actually begins to manifest because you defined it like that. So better that when they are finding out you stutter, say to them, “I may stutter sometimes, but it may happen or it may not.” Then you are not creating a concrete identity of “stutterer” that is triggered every time you go around that person. You rather will have no expectation of stuttering, because you have the belief that you could stutter or could not stutter; it depends so isn’t a fixed identity. It also could be that you just aren’t comfortable yet with people knowing you stutter, and that has made you feel uncomfortable every time you go around that person that knows. Does this make sense?
