If it is any reassurance, the more successful and educated the person, the less likely they are to make fun or judge you based on your stutter. You will encounter the most discrimination from the bott...

I would rather hate it because it’s a useless thing not because I can’t say my name like anyone she has ever known, I can only imagine the thoughts she rightfully had: “why didn’t they inform me there...

I have to ask, what the actual fuck did you get for posting this? Did it make you feel superior or good about yourself? I’ve stuttered all my life. My speech therapist in the third grade told my mom ...

Maybe it's because I'm a female, and we're conditioned to let things go, but I've always laughed it off in these situations and acted like it wasn't a big deal. Then I go cry about it at home. However...

Honestly, I think that is the hardest part about having a stutter. The ridicule sucks, of course, but you can’t fix all the jerks. I really hate when people who are close to me, and should be understa...

I've had people laugh in my face in multiple places when ordering food. I complained to management and got their asses fired. You did nothing wrong. I would have walked too....

We live in the victim era, where everyone wants to feel offended in order to throw a tantrum. A couple days ago someone asked on this sub if saying “did I stutter?” was offensive. Ofcourse I didn’t bu...

I don't know how to react after this experience (Half rant, half advice)

I don't know how to react after this experience (Half rant, half advice) I (26 m) have mild stuttering (which can easily go up to moderate in certain settings). Today I was feeling quite happy and c...

But you said employers dont care about if someone stutters. So can you see if you are being rejected (by anything, anyone) EXPLICITLY because you stutter, and these occurences happen every few months...

I’m assuming you live in a more socially tolerable country, but I and many others live in America where people treat you like you’re stupid if you have any form of disability. Things have gotten bette...

I have been underpaid in previous jobs because the managers assumed I am intellectually disabled and won't notice. Yes, all people are disadvantaged in some way, but only certain groups are treated as...

Yeah that scene is really disturbing, but I really like that scene because I find it more or less an accurate representation of stuttering. What is really evil about the scene is that the torturer giv...

Good for you x2. If they use it against you, that’s a toxic work environment and even if it is your dream job, your colleagues would end up making it miserable. That being said, I wouldn’t be shocke...

This post is the same thing they say to those suffering from depression, "just be happy". If it were that simple we would all do it, but it's not that easy. I also suffer from social anxiety because o...

I understand the emotion with which you're writing this, but not everyone is in your boat. The situation differs for everyone, and you have to understand that. One single opinion can never be applied ...

We had a great conversation about it! He said from the first time we spoke, he noticed it. He explained it’s obviously when someone is intentionally doing it vs has an actual stutter :)...

It’s easy to say stop being a victim. But there’s one major thing you forgot to mention here — many of us have side effects of stuttering. The mental health aspect is multiplied for us; stuttering has...

The general message is understandable but your approach is pretty ignorant. Do you stutter?...

You’re not even being “blunt”. You’re just being a dick. You are telling people that they are “playing” the victim? What does that even mean in this context? You think they’re pretending it sucks? Yo...
