I mean having a twinbrother every argument/discussion that I am winning (which is quite usual, since I am better versed in arguments surrounding social-economic problems) results in him going like “O-...

Good point. I’ve only ever had my stutter weaponized against me by cousins and siblings, but in a work place it definitely took me by surprise....

Yeah man go apply for that position, it seems like your managers really like you if they told you that. And with your coworker, I agree with what the other OP said, she’s definitely using a defense me...

It seems like a self defense mechanism of hers. She wants the position and reacted that way to defend herself/her claim to the manager position. If she was your friend and didn’t work at the store, he...

Has anyone ever tried to use your stutter against you?

Has anyone ever tried to use your stutter against you? I work at a department store (have only been here for about 2.5 months now) and the managers in my department encouraged me to apply for a manage...

funnily I never got bullied in school. but I was never accepted. the students and the teachers just pretended that I didn't exist. that really helped my social skills lol. and people wonder y I'm so a...

this happened with me too. I was at a family function and this cousin of mine went around imitating my stutter. just like you, no1 stood up for me. I didnt do it for myself either....

The worst comment I’ve had is that someone thought I was on drugs when I told them my name. They were asking what I took, if I’m okay, I told them I’m not on anything and they laughed and walked away...

Tw: beatings I'll use a throwaway. Got bullied at primary school from age 7-12. It started because I had a stutter. Teachers didn't react but they knew. We had 1 teacher per year (September to the ...

I've had this experience. When I run into someone I haven't seen in years on a good day where I'm not stuttering as much sometimes they'll say "you don't stutter anymore! it used to be so cute when yo...

Does anybody else feel super marginalized at work?

Does anybody else feel super marginalized at work? My stutter has been a strike against me with pretty much every employer. The worst thing is that unlike racial or gender bias, it’s much less recog...

My niece did this to me during a family vacation once. What hurt most is that I had to defend myself because no one spoke up for me. When people make fun of your stutter, it is due to sheer ignorance....

Some one I worked with once said “don’t worry, you’ll stutter you way to success some day” what a dick...

Felt empowered at work today

Felt empowered at work today Hi! This is my first post to this sub (i think), and I had a great day at work today!! Most people think that stutterers are not intelligent as most of you would know and ...

That's awful! I am so sorry. I wish people were a little more sensitive and understanding of what others are going through. And I swear most teachers are really useless....

Yeah, it definitely hurts more when it comes from a family member. She doesn't do it anymore but then again I don't see her much either lol but I've learned to ignore people. I am sorry that happened ...

I'm so sorry, it happened to me only twice (my dad and my sister) and I felt so bad and 'betrayed'. I can't even imagine how being mocked is, especially by someone who is supposed to love and help...

Bullied a lot in high school, get laughed at regularly by strangers when I have a hard time saying my name. But the worst time, was a couple years ago at a new job where I had to answer the phone. One...

When I was about 8, the teacher made us each read a sentence and went around the class, which to most stammers, is absolute torture, the quick time you have to count everyone in front of you and find ...

I feel you. Public shame works wonders for that tho, "Wow, do you really laught at people with disabilities? That's fucked up". That should end her laught pretty quickly....
