Is anyone else uncomfortable talking about your stutter?

It’s hard to explain why, but talking about my stutter is just really embarrassing and makes me feel really vulnerable. I also feel like me talking about my stutter puts them in this position where they feel like they have to comfort me and I don’t like that. This can make it awkward with dating and friendships because I never mention my stutter because I’m too uncomfortable talking about it and they never mention my stutter properly because they don’t want to hurt my feelings. So it just becomes this elephant in the room that neither of us ever talk about.
