I can relate to it, faced similar in group discussions, though I used to inform prior that I have a stutter so be patient with me, but not everyone complies to it, nor the interviewer considered it. I...

Maybe he can talk to his friends about it I think the biggest thing I've learned that has helped is not being hard on myself when I stutter That includes people talking over me etc I move on and ...

I often feel like an outlier here, but my thought is don’t give others your power. Take your power back, tell friends and family you got it, and tell the store clerk you stutter and need a few extra m...
