You have to own your stutter. If someone cannot be cool with your stutter, they are trash and they just outed themselves early to you. I suggest speech therapy! They also help with the emotional side...

If by avoid you mean hiding it on purpose, you don't. As difficult as it may be just be yourself and do not try to hide it. Years down the road you will be much happier about the way you feel about ...

Stutter hasn’t really taught me anything. I still feel unrecognised. It is sometimes hard to say a point that people take value in it. when I do, I say anything and everything even the things that are...
