What do you think other people think? For those to whom it's not obvious I have a stutter, I can never really tel what they think of the stops, or my techniques for avoiding them. When I straight up stutter in front of people, about half of those watching me will find it outwardly endearing, the rest just politely shrug it off. If I share that I have a stutter, and to please excuse it, I then have people listening in on previously subtle methods of avoiding a bad block. Very few people tease me for it, and no-one teases me twice.
