I have quite the vivid memories from years ago of me stuttering publicly with people reacting weird about it, so I'm not the person to ask for help in this case. What I can say is that, you're not a...

Don't think about stuttering. Don't think about trying to avoid stuttering. Focus on conveying what you want to say, and don't feel bad if you do stutter. Don't let fluency be your measure of success....
