Short answer: it’s hard sometimes but you keep pushing on. I’m 27, and I’ve stuttered my entire life. Like you, it is fairly mild but some days are worse than others. As a child I was extremely self conscious and kids often picked on me, because I spoke differently. As I grew older that didn’t happen as much. The people I grew up with eventually got used to it, and the picking at me slowly went away. I went to college and I started putting myself in speaking spots more often. I presented a lot of projects and at one point was the president of our program’s club. This made me speak in front of the club a few times a month. This helped tremendously. I got comfortable talking in front of people, which helped once I joined the workforce. I was recruited to work for a IT company and have been there ever since (graduated in 2016). I had a small role starting out but I talked to clients often. As I got comfortable with the job I started to notice that when I was working my stutter was nearly nonexistent. I was then promoted and my job consists of presentations to C-Suite Executives (CEO,CFO..etc). Again, putting myself out there. Starting out I would stumble a few times (this still happens). However, I am comfortable with it now, more than I was. I realized that there was a reason I do the job I do, and I won’t let stuttering get in between me and what I love. My advice, put yourself in those positions for personal growth. Be adventurous, and talk. Your voice matters, no matter how much or little you may stumble. Your stutter doesn’t define you and while annoying, you’re still valuable and can do anything anyone else can.
