Idk how to explain this but I sort of empathize with them. Like stuttering sucks and it’s caused me so much stress and anxiety and self-doubt in so many different areas of my life in so many different times HOWEVER it is weird and uncomfortable for other people. And other people encountering it, especially when they lack social skills / conscientiousness, just react without thinking. In a different life I’d be the same, reacting just as they do. The most important thing is to just continually view it as a negative modifier in conversation but it really has no bearing on who you are as a person. However it also has benefits in conversation as well since empathy and just not wanting to talk more than necessary and therefore listening more is something that has good outcomes as well. Some days our stutter affects us more than others but we need to just do what we gotta and not let it fuck with our heads too much.
