I just had a profound realization from my own personal experience. When people who stutter talk to one another, like stutterers in my family, group therapy, or stutter support groups, they often interrupt each other, like frogs they are jumping in with their own story (that they want to convey) Interestingly, non-stutterers do the same thing, constantly interrupting each other mid-speech. This shouldn’t be surprising though.. When a stutterer is interrupted by a non-stutterer. It ruins their whole day, suddenly they harbor negative feelings towards the non-stutterer who dared to open pandora's box. It's as if we're all drawing our swords, ready for battle. So stutterers can navigate interruptions among themselves but not with non-stutterers, if I were to believe most of the reddit posts I read here daily. Among other stutterers, there does seem to be some level of understanding for interruptions though.
