Conversations with Others Hello! I've been trying to speak to more people without disclosing, because my stutter is incredibly obvious. I've been mostly happy with my interactions with people and I feel a bit more confident to just walk up to someone and introduce myself. My questions for you guys is this: Do you feel like people avoid talking to you or asking you questions? I'm at a work conference this week and I've sat with some people who I feel like acknowledge me, but are avoiding asking me questions. I've heard from some people before that they didn't want to "make me feel uncomfortable" by putting me on the spot. Obviously, I'm used to stuttering, and I've stuttered since I was 2. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
