I absolutely hate this response. Get it all the time. You don’t have to have personal experience with something in order to be nice about it....

My parents used to vent to relatives about how no girl is going to accept my stutter. I mean they aren’t wrong(in my culture disability is frowned upon) but it irritates me when I hear that....

I stutter on my first name a lot. I hate when someone says, what did you forget your name?? It really gets under my skin....

I usually don’t mind when someone says something like “oh, did you forget your name?” But tonight I was serving and as I greeted a table I stuttered on my name. The mother laughs and asks if I’m think...

Yes, my Grandad and Dad do this all the time. I will be trying to say something, and they just talk over me like I don't exist. Horrible....

I'm covert but not enough that I'm 100% stealth, so I always get lil jokes every day when I stutter, like they don't realize I actually have a speech disorder and not just "nervous/tired/weird" lol I ...

It was in bad taste, but if this is the extent of the managers misdeeds, contacting HR is a pretty severe reaction. Over-reaction, if I'm being honest. Talk to the manager. Let them know you would ap...

The same way I feel bro. No one waits for you to finish your sentence. They ignored you or pretend. No one listen anymore. A friend or not. And if you are into argument, the other side will rasie thei...

This is something I don't see mentioned often. What got to me were not people being awkward about my stutter or outright bullying me, but family, friends and others just turning away from you mid sent...

I think it goes beyond being a stuttering thing (there could be many reasons for having issues saying your name). It's just a stupid thing to say. Clearly no one has forgotten their name. Something ...

Thank you for sharing. Its so difficult to just get the words out yet it should be simple. I had that at the opticians just the other day. Just to go to a simple appointment turned out to be stressful...

Kind of depends on who you want this girl to be. Some of us are defined by our stuttering. Others are not. I believe stuttering has an impact on all of us in one way or another. I hope no one here ta...

like no confidence is seeing as some type of way of lying, so even when i say my full name people lol at me like i just made it up, it’s frustrating...

My stutter is not that bad, like once every 5-10 sentences. Most girls have been quite sympathetic with me. One girl called It cute so yeah…...

I feel that. My parents often say this to me. I mostly ignore it but by saying it, they interrupt my speech process and I have to start new to continue the sentence....

For me… the grass may look greener on the other side. It almost certainly never is. The experience is not worth the hurt from other people. The world is a cruel, vicious place. It will chew you up a...

A large part of me honestly blamed my mom and the physically abusive childhood I had. I'd be yelled at and then hit over trivial things. She has since acknowledged it all but there's resentment- inclu...

i’ve found success with a combination of acceptance and facing fear and shame head on i encourage you to check out this youtube channel https://youtube.com/c/OpenStutter if u do, lmk what u think...
