Thanks, that’s good advice! I have definitely noticed him getting super anxious when stuttering badly, so I should probably try to comfort him/ reassure him sometimes. I kinda feel bad how people with stutter are often perceived as weird or even slow, and people keep making jokes about them :(( when it’s really not accurate at all. All I want to do is to make him talk as much as possible and do everything so he would relax around me. I’m a patient, reserved introvert so i’m never in a rush to speak with anyone hahah. But yeah, asking questions might be a good start, I would honestly love it personally if someone asked about my struggles too sometimes, it’s such a caring gesture:). I’m still not sure how he perceives me though because I have social anxiety and i’m not the best communicator myself to be completely honest. Would you say living with stutter has made you a more empathetic person? I definitely experienced a shift in empathy from going through chronic pain, and I wonder if it’s similar with all kinds of struggles.
