Hoooooly hell, this is why stuttering communities are filled with people who blame all their problems on their stutter. People who gleefully punch down are just the most odious vermin....

Yeah. There's also a historical factor too: in ancient times, stuttering probably was associated with some mental/physical impairment, thus it was easy to portrait people who stutter as "not normal" p...

Some people think that people who stutter are dumb, but don't let that discourage you from talking, please!

Some people think that people who stutter are dumb, but don't let that discourage you from talking, please! That is the worst and I feel like that is the reason why many people are not so open about i...

A rant

A rant It’s getting harder for me to tell who actually likes my personality, and who just does the thing you do to 8 year olds or mentally handicapped people(no offense to any of them, I’m just using ...

I think one of the worst things about having a stutter is not being about to defend yourself verbally.

I think one of the worst things about having a stutter is not being about to defend yourself verbally. And worse if you are laughed at while putting your point across. It hurts so much how some peopl...

People can be very cruel to stutterers. I remember being made fun of constantly when I was in school. My stutter is way better now than it used to be but when I have a block and struggle with words I ...

I had a friend that literally ditched me because of my stutter, called it “annoying.” My mom had gotten me into therapy since it was a degrading thing that I’ve been dealing with since I started talki...

I don't disagree, but there's a certain mindset that goes, "if you have two arms and two legs, then you're not disabled and you just have to work hard enough to overcome <insert disability>."...

This thread has got nothing to do with her English skills. Why would you bring that up? It's about a shitty situation related to her stutter. I'm saying you're clearly the kind of person to go "uUmMm...

A sign of laziness? Are you fucking kidding me? If only these people knew how much work it was just to attempt to talk...

That is terrible and I am shocked. Did you tell your parents or slp if you have one? Maybe they can talk to them and educate them on stuttering....thats it's not your choice. Its like if one of them w...

Wow. Way to discourage already insecure non-native English speakers. It's bad enough to have problems with speech. No need to further have a go at peoples writing and grammar. Especially not when it's...

I remember reading about this one blind stutterer when asked which disability was worse, he said stuttering because of the stigma and shame around it. I think the minimizing like you say is quite inv...

It's something that I've been thinking about alot lately also. When I first started interviewing for jobs 14/15 years ago I wasn't surprised by peoples reactions, to be honest I was pretty much expect...

I have been thinking about what you said, it’s so true, in 2020, I think people have evolved but stuttering is still not widely accepted and embraced. It seems that every other physical, emotional, or...

Thank you for your response to my OP, it's really reassuring to hear from fellow stutters that have successfully conquered the dreaded job interview, I really hope that I can post positive messages si...

I don't see why you should try. Sure, if someone is faking stuttering and you call them out, you get to feel smart. But if you guess wrong and you accuse an actual stutterer of faking it? That's way w...

I appreciate you for asking this question. For me personally, I can’t stand when someone finishes my sentence or says the word i can’t get out. It’s annoying and degrading....

The same people who say it’s cute will bring it up during an argument, or when you are arguing and you stutter they will make fun....

Experiences of discrimination?

Experiences of discrimination? I've only ever been discriminated against in job interviews, but I was reading an article about how an engineer was fired from his job for having a stammer. [Link](http...
