In my experience if people don't know I stutter they laugh because they don't know what's going on & why I sound stupid & can't talk...I get it but it's still a rude ass thing to do...but if 90% of people are going to make a fool of me when I meet new people then there's no point of being social hoping I meet a few rare people that aren't assholes. If most people judge me then it is my problem if i dont want to be a lonley hermit...I'm seriously getting too old for this kind of shit.
