Yeah first of all listen to her. Its not a common thing in my culture, but when people become distracted because i take to long to say things it feels like a knife in my chest. And for me, dont feel pity for her. If you make her the victim, she will become a victim. She is just a person that happends to take some longer time to speak, and thats it. When someone feel pity for me, it actually feels like i have a handicap, like i have something majorly wrong with me. The vast majority of people dont give a shit about you stuttering. There is a very fine line between support and pity, i cant quite put my words on it, but figure it out haha.
