Pet peeves?

Pet peeves? Might be petty, but I really hate 3 things that people say when it comes to my stutter. - People calling my stutter “cute”. This just irritates me to no end because personally I think I have so many other cute qualities, and my stutter isn’t something that exists so I can gain compliments. - When someone says “just stop and think about it first”. This leaves me more embarrassed than the stutter itself. I know exactly what I’m trying to say, I’m intelligent, I just can’t get the words out sometimes. - And the holy grail... “did you forget your name?” ...Don’t even get me started on this one.
