I was a covert stutterer for the first 30 or so years of my life. It was exhausting. I had a whole list of words I would not use. It sounds like you don't have that bad a stutter, so I would recommend something that worked for me. Stutter small ordering coffee where you don't usually go. Or ordering food. Some small situation. You will find out people don't react. It blew my mind. When you get comfortable enough, do it in front of people you know. Just small enough for them to notice, but not be any kind of a big deal. If they mention it, act surprised they never noticed before and act like its no big deal. Most people will file it into not big deal file and just move on. When I started to stutter openly it was a life changing thing. I seemed to be the only one who cared. Note: be prepared to answer questions about it. I would also echo some of the other fine people and strongly suggest a support group to join. If you are in Boston we have one I can't recommend highly enough. Out of anything this has been the best thing I have done. Last thing, the skill of not giving a phuck is one that I find is very hard to master. It takes a ton of work, and its not easy. It's an ongoing process. But my friends and family don't care and so neither do I. Usually.
