Yes, this encapsulates the entire stuttering experience perfectly. This is the reason why most of us suffer extreme anxiety in speaking situations and find it hard to accept ourselves. We have been looked down upon and disrespected so much. I remember a shocking experience at work where my boss mocked and imitated my stutter. Another one, I walked up to a girl and couldn't get my words out, she quickly walked away leaving me to talk to the wind lol.
