Yes, I totally get you. My stutter has gotten worse in the past 3 months for some reason, and I just noticed everyone look away when it happens. They get embarrassed, intrupt me, look away, finish my sentences. It sucks and I get embarrassed especially when I'm talking to someone I rarely talk to. I also block a lot when I stutter, so people think I'm stupid and have lost track of my thoughts or I'm done talking. When people ask me about it, especially when it's my parents, I get pissed. Just deal with it, you've known me for ages, this doesn't change anything. Or just anger towards the person asking for no reason at all. I think it's normal, you just have to remember that a lot of people don't understand and aren't trying to be mean. Those who are, screw them.
