Some insights on my stutter after being filmed for a TV quiz

Some insights on my stutter after being filmed for a TV quiz Hi all, I'm new to this subreddit, but subscribed recently because I want to share my experiences. I realise my stuttering may be relatively mild compared to some of you, but I certainly can't hide it without a lot of effort. I was always an introvert guy, never going out much and did not make many friends. Maybe not completely because of my stuttering, but it was definitly a factor. After a painfull breakup I felt socially isolated, so I decided to force myself in more social situations. I went out a lot more, I went to my student association mixers and became an active member in my student association. At first my stuttering worsened, because there was more social pressure. As I'm a medical student, I began to worry if this "disability" would hinder my career, but I always noticed that under very stressful situations (like doing presentations for groups of 30 students), my stuttering was actually less noticable. Also, when doing patient interviews (I was supposted to act like a doctor, but it felt more like acting to be acting like a doctor), I also noticed way less stuttering than in normal situations. This realisations catalysed a general "fuck it"-mentality in normal life. I didn't worry about my future anymore and my own forcing into social situations didn;t feel like forcing anymore. This led to a general decrease of ~40% in stuttering, but a 99% increase in feeling better about myself. Then my student association got the offer to participate with her students in a TV quiz where students can win a few thousand euro's.Five years ago I couldn't think about being on TV without fear. But now felt confident enough to sign up and participate in the filming. I went straight to the final after beating 300 other students in general knowlegde questions. During the filming I didn't stutter, I recall. I never thougt I could be on television, talking for 10 minutes without stuttering. I haven't even thought about my stuttering, untill I began stuttering again while filling out forms with the production team. Today was the first episode of this series, with another candidate, who probably wasnt a stutter, but looked way more tensed than I felt. Others have trouble performing in public also, I guess. TL;DR: Knowing when you stutter more/less and forcing yourself into difficult situations made me care less, stutter less, feel better and won me money.
