I really wish teachers understood.. They just don't. My teacher has a PhD in Communication and she claims to be the "Comm Queen" yet doesn't understand stuttering and how it works. It's really ridicul...

When I was dating my husband he went into a block and I got freaked out inside. I went home and told my brother about it and later confessed to my husband what I said about his funny faces. He did loo...

If a person mocks my stutter during conversation it doesn't make me upset or anything but it shows me their true character so then I just gradually cut them out of my life. I can't be around those typ...

This happened a lot when I am younger. I'm 38 years old and it died down, but I still get weird stares, asking if I am okay, people acting if I am slow. I overheard one person ask another person if I ...

I don't know if it's a normal reaction but it at least seems logical to close your heart to people that you think will hurt you in the long run. I had a similar story to yours, or turning point in ho...

My friends and I joke about my stutter all the time. I know them well enough to know it's lighthearted fun just like when we joke about one friend's "problematic" relationship or another friend's poli...

Therapy is a good idea to sort through these thoughts and emotions. When someone I don’t know mocks my stutter, I tell them I have a stutter & that’s why I repeat my words. Their joke quickly tur...

A guy I dated laughed and asked “are you okay?” when I stuttered during trivial pursuit. So I just told him I was tired, told him to go home, then texted him saying I wasn’t interested in dating him f...

Immediately checking out of a conversation when someone mocks your stutter?

Immediately checking out of a conversation when someone mocks your stutter? Have any of you ever had someone mock your stutter mid conversation and find it uncomfortably easy to... block them from you...

I still stutter. I am 62 and have all my life. So many things I could have done if I didn’t. It’s better now as the stigma isn’t as bad. In the 70’s they put us in a closet and had speech class...

A lot of people in my family stutter, including my sister who has 2 kids. Both of her kids however, do not have stutters. I can't say if there is luck involved, but one great thing that comes out of a...

Both my parents had a slightly stutter that went away, one of my siblings had it but ut went away, and I had it but it never went away. All triggered after bullying... Might be a coincidence, but it m...

You're only confident because you "don't care about other people's feedback", you've trained yourself to not give a shit. I don't want to live my life where I'm deluded (no offense) that public opinio...

You are right. People view us as less than automatically. I don't know why your being down voted for being honest. I think what some are saying about confidence could be worded better as acceptance....

How about we relate it to a different disability. What if every time you looked at someones blown off leg in a wheelchair they got weird about it. Or they got weird about you asking what being blind i...

I think "confidence" has been assigned to the wrong thing here. Confidence in a tool does not help when your tool (your mouth) is unreliable, you're right, but people who talk about "having confidence...

"be confident" that's like telling someone their dead dog is gonna come back. Confident usually forms through optimism, what the hell is so optimistic about feeling like you're choking every type you ...

"don't care what others think", not everyone is a fucking monk who's disciplined enough to not care about public opinion. Stuttering is hard enough especially when it's servere but it's even worse whe...

What I would do is start over then substitute it for another word that I know that I can say, and if anyone laughs at my block or stuttering I just ignore them because i’m used to it and I don’t let t...

It's all about the society where we live. I was in school in the early 2000s so nobody knows how it should be....
