I don't stutter, but I have friends who do, so I read your subreddit. I actually do find it cute in some contexts. I'm not saying this to annoy you, I just figured I should stand up and be counted. As for why? It's complicated, but in the right context, it makes me feel pretty trusted. A lot of people seem to feel pretty vulnerable or insecure about their stuttering, so if they trust me enough to share that with me and to stutter around me, that feels awesome and it makes me really happy. I feel a lot of affection for them because of it, and I guess "cute" is a word I've sometimes chosen to describe that. However, if I know they're not insecure about it or if they aren't voluntarily choosing to speak to me, I don't get this feeling. Maybe another reason is that I admire it, precisely because I am aware of the struggle and unhappiness that people go through because of it. At the moment, I have one friend who's about to start training to be a teacher, and another one who's planning to give a presentation at a conference for the first time. In both cases, I know how difficult it's been for them to reach this point, and the admiration I feel for their victory is really intense. I get such happy feelings when I think about that. I'm not sure if "cute/endearing" are the right words here, but maybe they are. Be angry with me if you want. I'd be interested to know how people react to this.
