Ah well...now this is bothering me. You're right. I've always considered that there may have been people who've treated them as 'less' but in my experience I've always seen people complimenting them or taking an interest to their activities, though they don't really seek out interactions with them. I can't fully know the extent of their experiences and how it has impacted them, so now I'm thinking about actually asking. It's strange since we normally don't talk about something personal and it's just interests, but I'll try. I want to note that I get physically exhausted talking to anyone though, and it's not just them. That's more of a personal issue, but I never intend to harm someone by 'wishing they could hust go away'. Thank you for your insight! It is greatly appreciated, as well as your kindness. And to think that your neurogenic stutter has impacted you this much, I am sorry.
