Thanks.I think it also depends on the severity of your stutter. If it’s a small stutter it’s considered okay. If you have a mid or severe stutter, it’s terrible. I use to have that same frame of mind...

My friends used to say, " that's easy for you to say". It takes a very big A$$hole to make fun of any disability ....

Adult stuttering is the only disability that people have carte blanche to mock or ignore. It's staggering to see how people just don't care or worse think it's a joke....

It’s possible they have so little self esteem that they need to feel superior in any way they can. They may need to find flaws in others to make themselves look better. I feel pity for anyone who need...

My dh stutters but I’ve rarely met anyone before irl that does. One time at my work I was handling a call from someone who stuttered and I had the empathy to deal with him since my dh does. Otherwise ...

It's ugly to mock someone, but that's not what you mean. It's possible they are responding to your attitude towards them? Viewing people as "bottom of the barrel" is also kind of ugly....

It's nice having this group

It's nice having this group I've stuttered all of my life as far back as I can remember. I'm in a pretty isolated area of upstate NY and have never met another person who stutters, hell I've never met...

Lol don't listen to this guy. the same "you're only this age" bs People who are 17 are getting things done, going to UNI, getting jobs. korgon213 people like you are the reason why stutterers see n...

I feel like I myself wrote everything being said here lol. I am a 48 year old hairstylist in a very affluent salon in a very affluent suburb. I'm above average in looks for my age. I have a pretty con...

Have people you spar with regularly. If you jokingly talk shit to people who you are cool with, it becomes second nature and you start doing it as a reaction without even thinking about it. It becomes...

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...

Back in the 90s, if one punched a bully one too many times in the mouth they couldn’t make fun of you anymore. Luckily for bullies, times have changed. Now I just make them feel bad by ignoring ...

So what? It's always better to stand your ground instead of letting them get away with being shitty and inconsiderate. If someone mocked me or laughed at me now, I'd surely let them know they're being...

We can’t do anything. If we say anything(which in these situations, stutter always makes an appearance)then they will continue to laugh even more. The only solution is to hit them which can be ineffec...

Stand up? Like how? Say something back? Then we stutter again and they’ll laugh again....

Stand up. Right then and there. Tell them that it isn't OK. It can be as simple as "That's not cool. You owe me an apology." Is this from the general public, or is this from a peer group? I'm assumi...

They are trying, and often succeeding, in humiliating us. Humiliation is a deep scar. There is a book called Status that discusses this, how humans constantly strive for status and that humiliation is...

Don't let them get off scot-free. Stand up for yourself and hold your head up. Our stutter does not give people the right to treat us with any less respect. We also have our dignity and must demand re...

Insults

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...
