I've made peace with having a stutter, but the one thing that always gets me is being interrupted My stutter is a bit of a mixed bag. Pretty much every kind of stutter, block or stammer I've had to deal with. But I'm not angry at it anymore. It is what it is and I'm just going to have to live with it. What does make me absolutely livid is other people not letting me finish what I'm trying to say, or wanting to hurry the conversation along by trying to finish my sentences, or starting a completely different topic or asking another completely different question before I've even started to answer them or give my two cents on the subject(which they usually asked for in the first place, I don't just butt into other people's conversations and topics). It's like their spastic minds can't stay on the same track for longer than two seconds, or as if they don't have the patience or the respect to let me say what I have to say instead of thinking they already know what I'm going to say and cut me off mid-sentence by either putting words into my mouth or literally cutting off the current section of the conversation and moving on to another or simply moving away from me like they've had enough of me. I know nobody owes me their time for no reason but if you're going to start talking to me at least let me talk like you would any other person. The modern world has been great with the introduction and standardization of non-verbal and non-personal communication, but it's like nobody has any time for anyone but themselves anymore.
