Where I live (small latin american country) stuttering is often mocked mercilessly even by adults. They don't really think about it as a medical disorder or something, it's seen as a being caused by a...

I'm sorry but this is unacceptable and a veeery low blow. If my GF ever tried to mock my stutter I'd immediately consider breaking up with her, because it means she doesn't respect me as a person and ...

I'm sorry this happened to you x I've ended friendships over this. It's the one insult I will never stand for. I could never look at a partner the same way again if they did this to me....

I stopped talking to my best friend of 12 years because he kept using my stutter against me every time we had an argument!!!...

Agreed. My own mother (who ironically I think I might’ve gotten the stutter from genetically) has done the same thing as OP’s BF to me before on numerous occasions in the past. So has my sister... ...

It’s not okay. Especially because he did it during an argument to hurt you. It’s never ok, but I’ve had people who don’t know I stutter “playfully” do this to me and I correct them and tell them not t...

That’s honestly a pretty good question. I’m in the northeast too, and I agree aside from the odd bully or two it’s pretty accepting. Thank god we weren’t born a century ago when we would have been sub...

I consider a close friend or loved one seriously making fun of my stutter to be one of the deepest insults they can do to me. Hot comparison here, but I feel like it’s making fun of a wheelchair user ...

Well in Panama there not to fond of people who do and often mock them. There not to knowledged about people who stutter and often we are the butt of alot of jokes. Panamanians who stutter are quite a...

Hello, I’ve stuttered all my life took better control of it in high school but it does rear it’s ugly head every now and then. I literally had an interview today, a friend of mine that worked there to...

What is the general attitude towards stuttering in your country/culture?

What is the general attitude towards stuttering in your country/culture? I live in the north east region of the US (near New York) and have been outside the country a couple times (France, Austria, Ca...

Employers/most, MOST co-workers won't care that you stutter. I've had a few coworkers that made comments. I told them to fuck off and went about my day. I didn't socialize with them after. By choice a...

I stutter in front of clients/coworkers and 99% of them have been very nice and polite about it. Most don't even react which is honestly what i prefer. Just as long as people aren't openly rude I'm co...

I had those same feelings. Basically the only people who are annoyed are ass holes and the only people who are inconvenienced are so self centered I don't give a heck what they think. Friends, cow...

Honestly people do care. Most people are just nice enough to not mention. As adults at least, most of us know how kids are. I'm sure that they do talk about it. Not obsessively, but in the same way th...

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. You’re right, people just don’t like the bluntness. Stuttering is not a thing people aspire to do, nor should they. Those of us who do stutter to a fault look ...

You just reminded me of something. One day, when I was chatting to the manager of a place I used to work at, we were talking about what high school was life for us and he said “I used to get picked on...

I'd love to think the same as you, but I don't know, I think people do notice the stuttering and they find it weird. I don't have many friends and I think my stuttering is the cause of it, even though...
