IMO if someone isn't comfortable with my stutter and decides to fade I don't get angry, I just see it as a chemistry/compatibility thing. I don't blame them as i just see it as it wasn't meant to be. For example, I've only seen videos of people with Tourettes, but I know that that would stress me... enough to fade on someone? I can't say. I don't know if I see this as a silver lining or whatever, but I kinda feel like if you meet someone who becomes your friend despite your stutter, they possess a hardiness of sorts. They're most likely a more solid, compassionate person; stuttering kind of has a built in filter, you know? How do you fare speaking Russian? I think it's a pleasant sounding language.
