Yes I definitely share this opinion. I'll answer your other comment too. I don't expect to be stuttering while speaking, like at all, or maybe 95% of the time. The only time I expect I'm gonna stutter when I confront someone or give a presentation after a long time of not giving one. But after I give the first presentation, the rest of the presentations go very well stuttering -wise. I think I never expect myself to stutter, that when I do, it actually catches me by surprise and I quickly point out if I'm in a serious conversation (landlord, manager, work... etc). Especially the first time. It's a way to communicate, "I'm not nervous or afraid, I just have a stutter that sometimes comes up". Otherwise, people generally don't give a fuck if you trip over a syllable or get stuck in the same word over and over. Or at least I learnt to block all their remarks or whatever and own it.
