I’ve had a manager tell me “it’s okay” like to be quiet when I was trying to explain something to her. Come to think of it I’ve actually had a lot of “authority figures” tease me. These situations are...

I think the worst reaction I've seen is this look that says "You poor thing." I feel like people don't take me seriously when I stutter. I used to get made fun of in school too, but at least adults ...

My entire life basically. To this day a lot of people treat me like a shy 13 year old even though I'm in my 20s. Everything was "Why don't you put yourself out there? Stop being shyyy" or "Are you afr...

Suffocating

Suffocating Like everyone else, I know I need to stay positive and not let my stammering define me. But I just need to rant LOL I feel. emotionally drained. Like all the time. I developed my stammer...

I think that depends on the country. Where I live stuttering is seen as just being nervous, so people think that I'm just always nervous....

I stuttered all through childhood and had to do speech classes all through elementary since I also had a speech impediment. I don't stutter like I use to but I still do every once in a while. I also c...

My school life was a total disaster. I still suffer from those bad experiences. It's really mean of people to not understand our capabilities. Judging our talents based on the difficulties we endure i...

Commenting a second time because this is an absurdly stupid question and are you fucking kidding me with this ignorant bullshit?!...

Just because a disorder originates in the brain doesn’t make it a mental illness. Confusing or combining the two makes it difficult for people with either to live and get treatment. Especially when bo...

Yeah, it has been like that throughout my teenage and now in my twenties. There were so many occasions and opportunities for me to speak and enjoy my school life but I couldn't speak up and was ostrac...

The hardest part about stuttering to me...

The hardest part about stuttering to me... Is even though as a grown adult I have managed to reduce the associated shame over time and logically can understand that it's not something that makes me so...

No, they don’t. But I think sometimes my colleagues would take notice. Stuttering is still laugh about in my country. And I have not yet encountered someone who has a mild to severe stutter in my coun...

Went through speech therapy as an elementary schooler. Had my friends instructed to ‘correct’ me and point out that I stuttered every time I did. This fucked me up so badly and internalized the idea t...

I only started to stutter in the third grade after I was sexually harrassed and bullied by older boys. I didn't have any problem with my speach before that. my Sister also stuttered and my father told...

I once had a guy make fun of my repetition and (my slp would be proud lol) I stuck up and told him I have a speech disorder, which usually puts people in their place. I usually don't hold it against t...

Anyone that makes fun of you for stuttering is disgusting and has no morals. But maybe people who no longer stutter can give you tips to help...

I am tired of People telling me that they once stuttered and it annoys me the fact that they think they know how it feels the pressure and the fear that you might stutter and people might make fun of you and they still know nothing about what i have went through

Ngl, some people in college will make fun of you. It happened to me during my undergrad. But most won't. Most people are understanding, so it's better for you to just out yourself out there regardless...

Did you?? Haha well I feel you, cause I can’t say my own name either. My favorite is when middle aged men laugh over the phone and make the extremely unique joke I’ve never heard in my life, “LOL did ...

Bullying is definitely a fact of life as a stutterer. Thankfully I developed a close group of friends who were kinda like the losers club and we all stuck together. I had friends almost fight people i...
