What I meant was not bringing it up in the moment, not just in general. If i’m having a rough time saying something it makes it easier if the conversation just keeps going, instead of bringing up the stutter which will just make you more self conscious about it, which for me makes it worse. In The Penguin when he stutters the conversation goes on, and nobody tries to interrupt him and offer “advice”, they just let him speak until hes able to say what he wants to. Which, for me, is how I personally want to be treated. I don’t want to be defined by my stutter, and its better if people listen to what I say instead, even if it takes a minute for me to say it.
