People often finish the word I'm trying to say and I dont like it. There are though some situations where I legitimately cannot get the word out no matter how hard I try but when this happens I always say "I cannot say it, I'm stuck, can you help?" or something like that. People immediately finishing the word I am trying to say makes me feel worthless, like they cannot wait a little longer for me to finish, because my disability is annoying or something. I know that most people are trying to help but I myself will ask help if I'm completely stuck.
