When I watch someone else stutter I know how they are feeling (shame, embarrassment, frustration, loss of control, helplessness) because that's how I feel when blocking. I just want them so bad to be able to speak fluently and not feel those things BUT ALSO, this sounds weird, part of me also feels those same emotions as they stutter so I kinda feel like I'm stuttering even though I am just sitting their listening (empathy)! tldr - I turned The King's Speech off after 30min. the first time I tried to watch it.
