I do this as well! We have a saying in my country that's like "who speaks like that does not stutter", when you say something with confidence (close to "did i stutter"?). If it's directly at me i say:...

I’d also recommend letting your teachers know, not so they could avoid calling you but just to let them know. I did that in college and it made me feel a lot better. I think I even announced it before...
