So I’m 20 and I have a stutter and gets worse if I have outings with friends. They claim to not hear it but I do stutter and it makes me so self conscious to talk. But whenever I stutter now, I just say ugh I can’t talk right now, people chuckle a little and forget about it. I realized I say to many profound things for people to care if I stutter. People even started complimented how I speak now that I am more confident. You don’t have to be proud of your stutter, but remember speaking and making mistakes are normal, and someone’s an asshole if they don’t want to listen.
