This is so beautiful and genuinely one of the best stutter advice I’ve heard on here in a long time! I think the only thing that truly holds me back with showing my vulnerability is that feeling of humiliation. I’m personally a very emotional human being and take every little look and word personally and deeply to myself. And I know that it only represents the other person (which makes me feel humiliated by their reaction) but I fear that feeling will not leave me alone and that memory will be circling in my head for as long as I’ll forget about it til the next one. It’s what usually happens if I stumble across a bad situation like this.
