People trying to empathize Does it bother anyone else when people say “I used to stutter too” to try to make you feel better. I immediately tune out when they say that because it obviously is not the same as what I’m going through but then I end up feeling bad for getting upset with them (even though I never tell them that I’m upset with what they just said)
