I've found that most people in public are empathic to a stutter but it depends on how you do it. If you stutter like its no biggie, most people will look past it. I know some people might just wonder what's going on and its necessary to put yourself in their shoes to understand what they might be thinking. But this is more of an internal battle. I'm not angry at them....I'm angry at the fact that I can't have conversations like other people.
