Thanks for your advice man! It was helpful :) I'm not really embarrassed about my stutter. I'm just afraid of making other people uncomfortable. The majority of people out there are nice and sympathetic to stutterers but some are not. This depends on the severity of your stutter. If your stutter is really severe, then some people become uncomfortable and look at you in a weird manner. Whenever that's happened to me, it's made me feel awful and made me feel like I'm some kind of freak. I actually don't care if people laugh (of course it depends on how they laugh too). I know stuttering sounds funny and that they're not laughing at me but laughing at the stutter itself. It's just that feeling of ostracisation that I don't like. Yes your attitude towards the stutter has to be positive. There are some instances where it really bums you out though. Example: Telling a joke. Telling a good joke is all about timing and surprise. If you stutter while saying a joke, nobody laughs at it because the timing gets ruined.
