My stutter is very mild, I'm a very lucky person in this regard so it's not too bad for me, most people who I work with, they don't know I have a stutter, the only person who does know is my team leader and that is because I told her, when I told her this piece of information, she said: "Oh really? I never would have guessed, you can't even tell", so that was a sigh of relief for me. One of the worst things is though, it's when (girls do this a lot unfortunately) it's when they say stuff like, "Oh I think it's cute", uh no, no it's not. I remember years ago, back when I was in primary school, I was in class with a girl, a friend sort-of and then we got talking on MSN (Lol) many years later and she said something along the lines of, "Why are you typing like that, do you have a stutter", I was typing like: >lollll or lolol, etc. And I said, wow that's a bit rude considering I have one irl and she didn't even know. But to be honest, most people who I've knew and stuttered in front of? they've not found an issue with it and they've never said anything about it to be honest.
