How do you feel when people call your stutter “cute”?
Content
How do you feel when people call your stutter “cute”? I mention that I have a stutter in my dating app profiles. Someone messaged me saying “I think stutters are cute” or something along those lines. I always cringe whenever I hear that, because in my opinion, it’s similar to telling a crippled person “it’s cute that you can’t walk”. I know they mean well, but it just really bugs me. But I may be a little biased haha.
