> some people get really embarrassed and uptight about their stuttering. It's not necessarily embarrassment. I think for some folks it may stem from having folks fill in the wrong word once too often. And that derails an already difficult conversation or turns it into a guessing game. As for me, I have friends and family whose speaking habits can sometimes make it difficult to get in a word edgewise on a subject. So when I finally do get a chance to talk, it feels like a rude interruption robbing me of my chance to finally share my idea, even if the person is just trying to help.
