Got laughed at today I was talking to somebody in a hallway at my college, and I was stuttering. Somebody walking by started laughing while saying “what the hell”? I simply mentioned “I just have a stutter” and started to walk off. He of course then started profusely apologizing, which I (reluctantly) accepted, but it still hurts, and feels dehumanizing.
