1. Only insecure babies talk about specific politics or religion to strangers. I never engage in this. 2. She probably didn’t know you stuttered (as in a real speech impediment) so her slight wasn’t against your stutter. Most fluent people stutter naturally in conversations. Regarding #2, I’ve been asked numerous times if I forgot my name when I get stuck. I even had a cop assume I was lying because I couldn’t get words out. This doesn’t mean they are making fun of your stutter- because they don’t know you stutter. They are making fun of you fumbling your speech, like everyone does at times. Now, however, we take it very seriously when this happens because it’s a legit issue for us. They don’t know that though
