Like someone said here recently. This is probably the last handicap that people still make fun of. I used to feel this ‘shame’ about it in India. But I moved to Netherlands recently and I find it a ...

Same in India. Stuttering is comic material for stand ups and sitcoms. Indirectly they all promote bullying....

That’s really nice. Unfortunately, in the US, generally when I see characters with stutters in shows/movies, it’s not necessarily positive and almost always involves said character getting mocked, whi...

Oh god!! I am so sorry that we are having this experiences without people realizing how harmful their words are...

I used to get these reactions and it use to piss me off and make me angry also. But I’ve realised that the population out there don’t understand what stuttering is. I strongly believe we are on the ve...

People should think more before they speak

People should think more before they speak Hello! So, its only Wednesday but I am having really bad week. On Monday I had to go the company because I am intern from my university. They asked me severa...

And aren't they just a bunch of petty idiots for laughing. Can you imagine being so eager to belittle someone? I can't, and I feel sorry for anyone that does - you should too....

I think a lot of people are genuinely unaware that it's a disability. I don't think my manager and a lot of others were dumb enough to try and coach someone through their disability. They assume I'm j...

Oh my god I cannot believe that your manager had the audacity to do that. That is beyond fucked up I would never. I’m so sorry. These are the little micro aggressions that I wanted to hear/be wary of ...

Whatever you do don't try to give him tips to stop stuttering. This is what my manager did and it made me terrified of work. It is a disability and not something we can control....

The struggle is real. Like everyday real. Im 40. Been in the same boat for as long as I can remember. Some say stuttering is a gift. I will never fully understand that statement. I'm certain tha...

People can be cruel and will always find something to judge harshly or ridicule somebody about, but there's great people out there who wouldn't care less and will give you your space and time to expre...

Please don't look at yourself through the eyes of someone who doesn't like or even know you. You are valuable, you have worth, and ur stutter doesn't define you my guy. What other people say about you...

I’m glad man. Hang in there and be proud of yourself. Being made fun of sucks. I regret doing that to others when I was young and foolish....

Honestly we are all insecure dicks. If the roles were reversed and you didn’t have a stutter, you would have also had a chuckle with your friends if someone approached you and said ca ca can I have a ...

In that context, of course not... but I can’t even tell you the number of people I have talked to in an attempt to give them some tips for their situation, and they just won’t even try it. Instead, th...

Do you think that the term "victim mentality" is respectful? Do you think that it's a valid assessment of someone's mentality if they come here just to vent but otherwise go about their lives?...

I gave a very thorough and objective critique of a book on this subreddit and the moderators removed it because according to them, I was promoting it. I explicitly stated I was not promoting it and wa...

I feel like if he's going to mock your stutter then it almost most certainly speaks volumes that he'll be the type to already or in future, mock other disabilities or vulnerable groups of people. Like...

I do not know but I could not stand it anymore, at first i would tell him that his harassment against my stuttering makes me feel a little sad and if he was harassing again i would leave him, this is ...
