Well I think the feeling can be different in different situations. But I don’t reccomend hugging or comforting a guy because it can make us feel emasculated. Guy wants to feel strong so just don’t react to the stuttering at all. For me I have different experiences where I stutter. Sometimes it’s because anxiety but sometimes on the flip side anxiety actually helps me focus and I don’t stutter. Sometimes it’s because I had a food allergy. Sometimes I’m anxious simply about how the other person will react to my stuttering. Sometimes I feel like my brain activity just switches to different parts of my brain so that it doesn’t favor speaking. So I’m stuttering but there’s really no emotion at all. Sometimes I just have a lot on my mind so organizing a sentence just overloads my brain. I think a lot of people associate stuttering with someone who is afraid. For me I will pretty much approach a woman any time anywhere. My stuttering tend to be on the mild side but I believe like anyone who stutters, there’s a potential for it to increase, but for me I put in a lot of work to speak a lot. I think stuttering in front of people can be difficult to do so people who stutter have been facing their fears for years, using a lot of courage.
