Microaggressions Was just arguing with a friend (who doesn't have a speech impediment) about certain statements that non-stuttering people give to people who stutter. This sparked since I told her that I didn't like a mutual friend of ours making a joke about my stutter saying "Oh you usually hide it better" so I made more examples to her that saying things like "Everyone stutters", "I didn't even notice it", "you're talking right now", "You did so well you barely stuttered", "You weren't stuttering this much last week" are statements that're basically microaggressions and irl ragebait to me. She kept fighting back on what I was saying. She said "There's a lot that goes into that". I wasn't really understanding the point she tried making but how do the people in this subreddit feel about staTements like these?
