Feeling invisible

Feeling invisible Today was a pretty bad stuttering day for me. I was on vacation for a week and just returned to work today. Coming back I’m starting to realize that my coworkers don’t fully acknowledge me. I feel that because I can’t get my words out fluidly or quickly they seem uninterested. Nothing is worse than feeling less than because of your stutter. I’ve made immense strides in containing and working with my stutter, but nothing shakes this feeling. It’s crushing. Any advice?
