Misunderstanding Context: I have stuttering, a month ago, my stuttering was not severe, but then I started doing two jobs. And I didn't got time to exercises for my stuttering. I thought, I will start again doing exercises after I left my old Job(one month time). My stuttering became as it was 3 years, very severe. At my new Job, one day, I was operating the machine, and my machine got stuck, stopped working. I tried to troubleshoots but didn't work. So I asked(with broken words) my senior coworker to help me, she told me she will come after two minutes. I was troubleshooting continuously and before she came I solved the problem. Now she came, I was continuously saying her that machine is fine now and I solved it, but because of severe stuttering she didn't understand. She tried the machine and It was working, she told me "the machine is working, what were saying, you don't know how to use the machine" and her face was like "wasted my time." I was keep trying to tell her I troubleshooted the machine but because of stuttering I became the bad guy not only to her but also to other coworkers. I can ignore her like everyone says "why do you care about people" but this could lead to my wrong first impression on company.
