It doesn't hurt me that bad honestly cause it gives me an excuse to call them out for what a shitty person they are. Don't care if I stutter in the process. It hurts me more when they don't say anyth...

Anything that is said negatively about something, a body characteristic of which we have no control hurts us. Such characteristics such as color, height, weight, physical deformity, even gender are pa...

Bc shame is the ultimate pain - for all of us humans, let alone stutterers. Fortunately or unfortunately we can’t hide it...

I feel the same. I see stand up comedians who stutter laugh on their stutter experiences. But I would never. Their way of coping is laughing but mine is being depressed or crying until I feel better. ...

I once had to help a customer who had a very thick accent, and I couldn't understand them. I went to answer and stuttered badly, he they walked away. I would of felt bad but I figured I listened to hi...

Insults Why is it when someone makes fun of my stutter it hurts so bad. I know I shouldn't take what people say personally because it's only a reflection of themselves, but no matter how much I tell m...

I've had people say right in front of my face to their friends "I thought she was slow / mentally challenged but she just stutters" also stuttering skank, retard, had people ask me questions to show t...

So true. Stuttering is this condition that we can't quite grasp. It's not this thing where people will understand and have sympathy. They blame it on us because they see it as something stemming from ...

Yep. When you can’t hold a conversation or explain yourself or your opinions, people view you as uneducated/dumb. I know, logically, that people that are worth my time won’t do this, but it doesn’t st...

I have experienced and agree with everything you've written in your post, especially with this comment about the "cuteness" of stuttering women. I hate it, it annoys me so much even though they don't ...

Yea if I had a penny for every time a guy thought I was cute because of my stutter I’d be rolling in it. After a while it just gets irritating to be honest and you’re right there is also the element o...

I agree to be patient with the child. From what I Googled, the Lidcombe program In Australia teaches parents to do just that and helps with ideas on how to gently work with the child. That’s great stu...

Yes, I was the same way too. It was so disheartening to see the look of horror and sympathy when they realized I has a stutter after being fluent previously. I really feel you. Sue...

Well, either you do or don’t stutter and my related comments stand. It seems that the Lidcombe program provides a healthy approach for parents to interact and support a child with a stuttering issue....

To the person who wrote this comment, “Do you stutter?” It seems to me you don’t. I do and I would never give this advice. If you do and you give this advice, then I would just say I strongly disagre...
