people laughing at your stutter Every time I speak and a stutter occurs, my boss immediately laughs. It’s not a loud laugh. It’s more of a chuckle. It seems like he does it because he’s uncomfortable/awkward and doesn’t know how to react to my stutter. Honestly, though, this assumption is honestly a stretch and giving him the benefit of the doubt. To me, the act demonstrates just a lack of common sense. Not only has he known me for almost a year, but most people who have never encountered a stutter at least have the decency not to laugh/still extend courtesy. The fact that he laughs at someone who is not just in a lower position than him at work, but a visible minority in terms of race and gender unlike him is what irks me as well. I can’t even correct his behaviour because that would be considered rude or confrontational. I never outwardly have called someone out for their ableist lines of thought and it’s so beyond me that others have a superiority complex/too big of an ego to receive constructive criticism as to how not to hurt someone’s feelings.
