That's why I picked this particular comic, because I can't imagine a single scenario where "did you forgot your name?" isn't mocking. (I mean unless somebody was genuinely worried and was grabbing the...

I disagree that this is always true. We often think we deserve to be mocked, and we need to know we deserve better. I picked this comic in particular because "did you forget your name?" is mean. Alw...

True, but realistically “did you forget your name” is just a very dumb thing to say. Especially when stuttering comes with obvious physical facial cues, and, who would forget their own name....

Until you know what it’s like to have to have the experience of making a phone call & people are rude to you or they think you’re playing on the phone & keep hanging up or you get cussed at, you will ...

Attributing a lack of decency to listeners natural response to a very uncommon situation is not going to help US, the people who stutter. In fact, the negative feelings we hold towards listeners ca...

No but you may have more luck on a fb group. My ancestors are from Czech and I plan to visit Prague one day. I would love to hear about what it's like growing up with a stutter in the Czech Republic...

Good read. I am currently experiencing many of the same physical issues you described. I have always thought a visible stutter is better than a covert stutter mainly because you end up developing load...

I agree that everyone has problems and if you have no means of coping it is just as bad as anything someone else can have from your perspective. The difference arises in how other people can influenc...

Or he would call it an asshole filter for humanity. Turns out almost everyone is then lol, even him at times because even to this day he cuts me off, finishes my sentences, or seems annoyed. The pro...

Well I had many professors who were annoyed by my stutter, some told me if I took too long to speak they would cut me off and call on someone else, some of them did that anyways without asking. I mean...

I’ve been stuttering since I could talk I’m 28 now. People say it gets better or it goes away. But it hasn’t I just learned how to accept it. Life is significantly harder, harder to get a job, harder...

>Stuttering is associated with nervousness/anxiety which unfairly gets attributed to incompetence. You hit the nail on the head. I would personally say that this is the main reason why we are all mis...

*I think our problem is we are so scared that people find out that we stammer, more than anything else.* This basically explains my life as well. I hate it when people notice and say "You have a s...

Thank you! Your advice was so on point. I’m definitely trying it next time. I'm replying to your comment now after I got back from the presentation this morning, and honestly… it went better than I e...

This is tough, I am sure he is amazing. More power to him for persueing such a job. He can defiently do it. This post makes me think of when I asked my doctor a neurologist what I should do about ma...

Yeah some people have temporary splinters, their legs fall asleep sometimes, and others have allergies to water. Bro, take your logic and gtfo. My dad has always said that to minimize what I go thro...

True, people on both sides I know minimize the hell out of me and then try to tell me I am choosing to be victim lol. Man being the victim has been amazing for my life, why wouldnt I keep choosing to ...

That's when you get defensive and say "you dont know what its like living with a disability nobody knows about" be aggressive bc frankly it's warranted. Because if they don't wanna learn and improve t...

Man, my girlfriends always acted similar when I brought up my stuttering and how it was making me feel. They never helped and told simply told me "no one cares about it" Clearly that's a lie and isnt...

The left ruined that, when I explain it now to people they think I am trying to lecture them on how I am victim. You can rarely win...
