If it bothers someone, it’s on them not you

If it bothers someone, it’s on them not you When I moved to London one of my first jobs was working in door to door charity “sales” (it’s a weird job and I quit after 3 weeks but that’s not the point). One thing my boss told me that stuck with me ever since was to only talk to people who want to listen and if my stutter bothers them I probably don’t want to talk to them anyway, there’s no point trying to talk to someone who doesn’t respect you. He meant it in a sales pitch way but it’s something I started applying to my everyday life and it’s helped me a lot, no it doesn’t help me stutter less but it helps me sort out the people I’ll dedicate time to talk to. I’m sure we’ve all been at situations where you start stuttering and the person you’re talking to either interrupts/stops listening or just carries on the conversation with someone else, those are not people you want to be talking to in the first place. First time posting here, just wanted to share cause it helped me be more confident and selective about my interactions. It’s not your fault.
