I stayed with some people in the usa a couple of weeks one time. Fore some reason i stutter more in english (not my native language). In the beginning i stuttered more than i had in my entire life. I havent heard you stutter but there a VERY good chance my stutter then was worse than yours. A simple sentence could take minutes, i basicly had to speak one syllable at a time (still got blocks all the time). These were very friendly, openminded and kind people. They didnt interupt me, they didnt speak to me in a condesending way, they didnt treat me like they felt sorry for me. They just listened a let me take the time i needed. We lived with them for two weeks and gradualy it got better and better. In the end i was pretty fluent. I also think theres a good chance youre reading your friend incorrectly. I know depressed people (i dont know if you're depressed) have a tendency to misstake neutral faces as negative. I was in a stutter group once and one guy, who was the one in the group who felt worse about his stuttering, were talking in front of us. He had some blocks and we could see it made him very very stressed. His stuttering seemed to bother him 100 times more than his stuttering bothered us. What was stressing him was probably what he thought we would think of him.
