I think when its from a stranger hitting on you, we just find it demeaning or fake. To me, it is weird to compliment someone's disability who is struggling. But we understand the intention is to flatter someone and not to hurt anyone or cause a negative result. You can not like something or think it's demeaning without being offended or think that person has ill intentions. I think strangers that don't stutter and do this want to make you feel better, but I have mixed feelings about it. If it came from my boyfriend or a fellow stutterer I guess I would accept the compliment alot more, depending on the person. People that understand what is like and don't think of me as someone worthy of pity, and people that I know come from a place of not seeing my stutter as a flaw. From a stranger who doesn't have it, I think they see me as someone who is struggling and are inadvertently showing pity. Aww, cute little person struggling to talk to me!! 🥰Not a fan. But I understand its not meant to be hurtful and I personally don't feel resentful or anything of it. I don't like the idea of someone thinking I'm cute because I'm flawed, because I don't see my stuttering as a flaw, and I don't want to think that others see my stuttering as a flaw. To me, I'm just talking. Sorry for such a long post
