Tatyana, I tried to represent this point in the slide entitled "The Isolation of Covert Stuttering". Because others have "categorized you" as a regular speaker (perhaps with a few peculiarities in your speech) it can be hard for them to sympathized with your struggles as a person who stutters. Most people think of stuttering as having blocks and repetitions which handicaps their communication... that someone encounters these same handicaps without the blocks or repetitions, its very hard for them to understand. Keep explaining your struggles and feelings to your friends.. they may come around to understand what you are going through with more time.
