Definitely introduce yourself as a person who stutters. Get it out in the open early so people are aware. I just started doing that (31 years old) and it takes away a lot of the fear. You'll still stu...

If I could go back to HS (I'm in my 40's) I would own up to the stutter. Talking about it to others, gives it less power. High School was rough. It gets easier....

🍾🍾 you are hitting it on the nail, putting it on the back burner is a great way to put it. And never be afraid to just tell people you stutter. It's great with getting the other person to be more di...
