Aye. I am 37 and I can't give two shits what people think anymore. I do encounter snide remarks or a suppressed laugh here and there, but I just look past that and talk. If they can't be bothered to listen to me, then they are not worth my time in the first place. I used to care, and was so scared of talking to people or ordering from restaurants, but not anymore. Gotta live man, gotta tough it out and get what you want. I would still be nervous giving a public speech or talking loudly in public but if push comes to shove, I will suck it up and deliver whatever I have got it. It won't be quality or anywhere near legible but fuck it.
