Yes. And... Some people are more biologically wired to feel/notice/believe they are being ridiculed, making your very true advice a very difficult process. and the temporary failures to “let it go...

Some people use laughter when something happens they don't understand. Most adults will quickly pick up on someone stuttering and that's what counts. If they continue to laugh at you knowing you hav...

All I can tell you is try to avoid what I did - at university I was so afraid of stammering saying my name when introducing myself, that I avoided talking to people altogether. This meant that I made ...

Thank You! Always happy to answer questions! >How severe of a stutter did you have before adult speech therapy? I was a severe stutterer from my earliest memory. Severe, as in, never a fluent se...

I get that. It seems like some people try to use humor to defuse a situation they feel uncomfortable in. Sometimes they forget that their audience might not find them funny....

If I can stereotype, I feel like it must be super hard to be a woman with a speech issue, since gender roles indicate that women are supposed to be the talkative communicators. I’m glad it got better!...

That’s a good point. I ran cross country in college, and later found out that the coach “warned” the team about my speech so they wouldn’t laugh. I liked my teammates less after hearing that....

I'm not good at confrontations for obvious reasons but i just blew it away then. I've since just cut contact with that guy. The memory still haunts me though....

I’ve been made fun of my whole life for it, but I’m a female .. it probably stopped after high school, now I’m 30...

Oh absolutely, happens to me more often than not. While working at an ice cream shop over this past summer I would avoid taking orders, just minding my business preparing stuff for people. But when my...

I'm 41F and it never got better for me when I became an adult. I've had 4 jobs where I botched a presentation & was let go the very next day. My niece laughed at me once and mocked my stutter. My ...

It doesn’t happen often but it did happen to me. I was talking on the phone with an older gentlemen(I work the front desk at a dental office) and after I was done speaking he started to stutter but in...

Most people dont but I've had a couple of interactions like this. A guy from college just couldnt stop laughing for 2 minutes. He laughed so much that he was out of breath just coz i was making faces ...

personally i dont like jokes about stutters bc a disability (does it count?) that affects ur whole life and how u interact with others isnt funny. if he made stuttering jokes behind ur back before, he...

It if he made fun of that dude behind his back that means if he figured out I have a stutter then he would devalue me as a person. Does that make sense?...

I hope it does. Most girls my age are really kind to me and I could never see them poking fun at it, which is why I desire a girlfriend more than friends anymore It just feels like I’m being devalued...

That’s not the kind of guilt I feel. I sometimes feel guilty about making people uncomfortable, or wasting their time. It’s false guilt, though, because it is not my fault....

Thank you. I’m just so confused about everything I don’t know what I need to do. Idk if I need to focus on making sure no one ever makes fun of it’s or if I need to lighten up. I really don’t know...

It’s just tricky. A lot of people are saying I’m taking things to serious but I feel if someone makes fun of it they don’t accept me for ME Like at my job a coworker was referring to me as “broken r...

Ohhhh he said it like that 😕 then yea he’s pretty insensitive . That shows he’s unable to put himself in someone else’s shoes and see how they feel. He’s not a compassionate person. Now, this doesn’t...
