What’s the weirdest reaction to your stutter that you’ve received? I’d say my top 2 weirdest reactions have been: 1) when I was in primary school my teacher borrowed a microphone pack from the theatre department for me to wear during class to encourage me to “speak louder.” Meanwhile volume was never the problem. 2) my childhood friend started faking a stutter around me, saying that it came naturally when she was with me. She always looked up to me in a way and we were very close so I never took offence, only thought it was strange. She never did it around anyone else but me. Curious if anyone’s experienced anything similar or just completely outlandish.
