Been there, done that! Through the years I became more open about it. But the last years are special stuttering years for me, haha. I delete the avoidance for 99% of the time. True, I stutter a whole lot more, absolutly. But I feel so much freedom to say what I wanna say. Not constantly thinking about 'do I stutter of not' of 'can I say that or not.' Okay, the stutter frustrates me sometimes more then I would. But for me the frustration of avoidance was bigger then this frustration!
