How do you get over the uncomfortable reactions especially from family and friends? The other night my family and I went out for dinner with some of our friends. At one point I wanted to add something to the conversation that was happening at the time so I just reminded myself that nobody cares that I stutter and I shouldn't have to keep quiet. I start speaking and immediately get hit with a couple of minor blocks and repititions which I pushed through. But what made it awful was just noticing the reaction nearly everybody had where they would just look away from me and start fidgeting with something and try to not listen to me because it obviously makes them uncomfortable. I made my point while basically being totally unheard because nobody has the patience to actually listen to what I have to say. After that I just kept quiet for the rest of the night
