Does anyone else get very triggered when someone brings up stuttering in a room full of people? If I am in a classroom or in a group of people and some or all of them know I stutter, and say the teacher brings up stuttering, or we are watching a movie and someone has a stutter, I get super anxious and embarrassed and triggered. I think it’s because the people who know I have a stutter start to look at me and I just feel very exposed and vulnerable, and I know that everyone in the room is thinking of me.
