Totally relate to this. It’s viewed as something we should just ‘be able to get over’. They just don’t get it! Pisses me off no end...

Sadly, as people we all take everything for granted. Legs, arms, hearing, seeing, etc. Only when something misses from our life we want it back, there's just so much stuff to focus on in life and we'...

We had to ban what appeared to be a profile by the company behind, because they were promoting it in here. There were other profiles involved too, it seemed. In the end, we decided that we'd remove p...

People blaming you

People blaming you I don’t know if others have had this experience but for me, one of the worst parts about stuttering is how others view it. For me, people have always seemed to blame me for it, even...

My situation was similar. 3-4yr old chatterbox and then one day, bam, could barely say anything. My parents were great. They never made me feel bad, never tried to rush me and made sure I went ...

Really support her, don't be afraid to talk about it and ask her how she's feeling about it, stay on this subreddit (if you're a regular member of reddit), when she's older look into a support group n...

This is a very delicate one, but I totally understand your worries. I'm a stutterer since birth, I'm 22 now. Throughout my life, I've never found myself in situations of severe bullying due to my stut...

I’m a 22-year-old female. I’ve stuttered all of my life. When I was a child, my stutter was severe. Now, I would say my stutter is very mild. I go through periods where I don’t stutter at all, but I a...

This is a tough one, I will say. I think that my best advice is to give her the tools to be open about her stutter, and teach her to tell others about it so they can hope to be patient with her. At t...

Hmm I’m not sure I find it helpful to think about these behaviours as micro-aggressions. Maybe I misunderstand the term but that induces me to think about myself within a certain narrative, as victim,...

But ppl have been told about stuttering, that there is no cure for it and it’s not our fault. Yet we are still treated like this especially in the workplace. It’s seen as something weird and something...

My family was also like that, acting like my stammer is something to be swept under the rug and forgotten about, but what they don’t realise is that it’s an integral part of you and can’t just be “sol...

Wow, it sucks that they let you go because of your stutter i believe that the executive and the hr team are assholes and I'm glad that you're not working there anymore as they probably didn't see you ...

Listen let’s stop the bs here. It’s is because of our stutter and it pisses me off!! I’m in a job for two years and I’m the least paid person in my roll and they give me reasons about stupid things bu...

I can't believe someone would call ur stutter unprofessional. That's so ridiculous, call them out on that bs. Making fun of someone's disability it harassment and that's completely stupid. I wish you ...

My family wasn't critical, they just didn't understand. it. That being said, I can relate to your work situation somewhat. Where I live a stutter isn't even as a disability, just some weird thing that...

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent)

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent) This is a bit of a long vent, thanks for reading this if you do! I’ve had a stutter since I was l...

Yea speech therapy basically helps you be more aware of your impediment, didn't work for me or my friend. Also stupid family and friends only makes it worse with "calm down" and "it's all in your he...

I'm not a fan of the use of microagression as a word, but this just seems like normal behavior to me. Like people finishing my words for me. If I counted everytime that happened during one day I'd get...

We got to be careful how we understand that term, though. Some people might focus on the negativity aspect as if it was meant to paint the surroundings as evil. But it's a more systemic notion than th...
