My husband has told me that’s what he hates most about stuttering, that it makes people so uncomfortable. But I think that’s taking blame for other people’s issues. You’re just talking. If somebody else gets uncomfortable because of it, that’s on them, not you. I’ve told my husband to try thinking of it from a different perspective. If somebody had cerebral palsy or was deaf or had some other disability and people got uncomfortable around that person, he wouldn’t think the disabled person was making people uncomfortable. Anyway, that’s just to say you aren’t “making” anyone uncomfortable. People get uncomfortable because it’s different and they don’t know how to react, but it’s up to them to get used to it, and it’s really not that hard. I felt uncomfortable the first few times I talked to my husband when we first met, but it was easy to get used to how he talks.
