- No matter how long the stutter takes to say something, don't finish their sentences for them. Im sure you already know this but I'm pointing it out because a lot of people don't. - ^this resonates - it was my first answer to your question - I understand the intention is good but it’s painful (at least for me). Despite saying this I recently encountered someone who also stutters and he was having a rough go with some words that night, he’s normally significantly more fluid to the point where you wouldn’t notice during casual encounters. We were hanging out with some friends and when he got really stuck on a word I jumped in and finished the last word and kept going with the conversation because I knew where he was going. I know I just said I dislike it being done to me, I can’t really explain it, I get a little triggered when I even hear stuttering and I think I wanted to help draw less attention to it - for both our sakes - because I’m really self conscious about it and it’s always on my mind like this constant failure waiting to happen that I can only avoid for so long before I slip up (especially during job interviews, I have to workout before an interview if I can to try to destress because my cortisol levels on interview days are through the roof, and I have to walk around during phone interviews to distract myself from hyper focusing on fluidity and hitting a block on words I might have to say that have letter combos that are known blocks for me).
