Stammering reactions

Stammering reactions How do people normally react to you stammering? For me people seem to laugh a bit because maybe they think I'm being funny or something. I give them the benefit of the doubt that ...

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....

How old was your niece? Kids can be a weird mix of nonjudgmental on somethings and cruel + excessively honest with others....

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....

a few times in my life but the worse one was someone saying i was glitching & lagging which i found funny even if it hurt a bit lmaoo...

I'm in my last year of school and throughout the years I've had all sorts of comments and laughs from students. The only teachers that have made comments don't know I have a stutter and they say stuff...

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 ...

I’m glad they had your back. This man is severely mentally deranged. I’m not really religious but I think of these people as energy sucking demons. Have to be very careful and non-reactive around them...

I didn’t realize people could be so cruel until that happened to me. Thankfully the dentist I work for made him apologize to me, and whenever he comes in for a cleaning or treatment they let me go on ...

Apart from my mother and stepfather(who didn't make fun but got angry because he sees it as disrespectful), no one has every made fun of my stutter, most people are quite understanding....

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...

I guess it worse in schools and colleges, most of the adults are aware to not make fun of stuttering....

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 ...

Do people actually make fun of stuttering to a stutter's face?

Do people actually make fun of stuttering to a stutter's face? Maybe I've been super lucky, but I don't think I've had someone say something to me since I was 19, when a cab driver mistake my stutter ...

This is flat out bullying in the work place. You shouldn't have to feel ashamed of your stutter because some a**hole makes jokes at your expense. Report the person to your HR department and report it ...

In my opinion the only time a joke about something like this is okay, is if/when the person with the stutter is in on it and also thinks is funny. If you know people are making fun of you and joking ...
