I never heard that one before. However, I do have experience with people ridiculing me because "I'm dumb because I forgot my name or that one very obvious fact"....

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Some situations definitely drive home how debilitating a stutter can be. Keep your head up. You're more than your stutter. Keep telling yourself that. No matter what...

Holy shit I completely relate to the "talk slower" thing. They'd tell me to slow down or I'm stuttering because I'm nervous. I have quite a vivid memory of when I was 3 or 4 and I was hit with a BAD s...
