Personally, regardless of situation, I wouldn't apologize for stuttering (not that it's an option anyway). I stutter. That's that. If I was in a wheelchair I wouldn't apologize for not being able to w...

I think it’s down to focusing more on the words instead of your stutter. Since your first language comes naturally to you, you have more mental space to think about not stuttering...

In most cases, it seems to be a mental problem with trauma or anxiety, etc which can be fixed. Maybe not completely but people have claimed to become fluent after stuttering. I don't think it's perma...
