Nope. It makes it worse for me. I find I stutter less around people who don't know I stutter. Once they find out, that's when it gets bad. For example, my ex didn't even know I stuttered for the first...

I'm sorry, what you've shared sounds really hard. Not at all okay for your supervisor to use your stutter as a reason to keep you from participating as your classmates do. You're not alone, **at all,*...
