Anyone else feel weird listening to other people stutter? I’ve been taking taking this storytelling course online and I can tell the instructor has a very mild stutter than I’m assuming most people would not notice. Yet I can’t help but focus on it and try to catch him stammering. It’s gotten to a point where I’m not actively listening and just waiting for him to stammer. It’s even worse when I meet stutterers in real life. I just become so aware of it and it sometimes makes me uncomfortable. Anyone else have the same experience? Would love to hear how you guys feel/react around other people who stutter.
