I'm no longer able to edit my post but after some research about stuttering and it's effects (and one day of bug hunting later), I realised that their stutter had literally nothing to do with my situation. I was feeling trapped/socially drained in some conversations because they would keep talking despite my efforts to leave or end our interaction. I think in my 3 am daze I did some mental gymnastics (blaming *their* stutter..) to avoid facing the fact that I felt this way. Though now I feel bad because I may have made some people here even more insecure about their stutter. It's terrible, I never want to do that and I hope I won't again. A better question is whether or not I'll still be able to communicate my boundaries and to have them understood. I'd feel like ass if I straight up said "can you stop talking to me?", but this is something I have to navigate personally -- being patient and being a pushover aren't the same thing. That also means the initial post is useless and basically just offended a bunch of people lol. Maybe If I thought about it longer. Sorry for my yap sesh. Once again thanks for your kindness. I appreciate the reply.
