Almost everyone I know has said that it's cute or endearing in some way and I really can't stand it. Don't tell it's cute, it's a part of me that I can't stand and it's a little insulting, telling me you'd like me to keep stuttering rather than helping it. I get you're trying to make me feel better about it, but that's not what I need. I'm fine with it, I need it helped, not comforted.
