made fun of because of my stutter 😭

made fun of because of my stutter 😭 my dad stutters a lot so i’m pretty it’s genetic. when i was younger i took speech and graduated so i can talk regularly but i still struggle with a stutter. i’ve never liked calling or facetime because of my stutter. tonight, i was on the phone with some of my friends and i had stuttered in the beginning of my sentence and one of them said “that was a bad stutter” and started giggling. i’ve had other people in my life point out my stuttering and it’s really discouraging and hurtful because i don’t know what to say or do when it happens. i love talking but my stutter always holds me back. what do i do when people make fun of my stuttering? i’m trying to not take it to heart but it’s hard because this is one of my biggest insecurities. thank you for reading 💕
