My New Hair Dresser

My New Hair Dresser My new hair dresser has a severe stutter. I have know about stutters my entire life due to public figures that have had them and also one kid in school that I knew that had one in ...

I'm sorry man. It just sucks and that's it. Most people aren't thoughtful. Maybe they felt genuine in their applause without really thinking about how mocking and insulting it is and had time to think...

The one thing that I want to say: It’s not your fault. She is the bad guy here. You are not „broken” by any means. I don’t know if you explained to yourself correctly what happend to you, but if it...

I have felt that way my whole life, although usually my trade was something smaller, like a finger or even a hand. I had never used Reddit before, but finding this at least reminds me that I am not al...

Maybe it's not minimizing? Maybe OP is exaggerating? Maybe the applause isn't for the disability, but for the effort? OP came out of the gates openly hostile. What don't you understand about what y...

This is why I stopped posting on this group. I tried offering advice and ended up getting trolled. People getting crucified for expressing their difficulties is another reason....

Well, this comments section is a ball of angry hornets. OP, it’ll be ok. Each of us had our own horror stories of stuttering and lived experience with this burden. To some of us, its crippling, to...

A local NSA chapter opened up near me. It has been a blessing to meet other people who stutter. You can have fun and just not care about your speech for the hour you are there. It also helps prevent m...

I've just recently met seven others who stutter at a NSA Meeting after 40 years ive never met anyone else. It was a breath of fresh air just meeting others who go through the struggle. They're having ...

NSA Meetings

NSA Meetings I recently went to my first National Stuttering Association (NSA) meeting. For me, meeting new people is tough especially because of my stutter but I got to a point where I knew I couldn’...

Do I understand that you trying to minimize the problem of stuttering because others have it worse? I think OP is jealous and have right of fake applause, fake tolerance of normal people. How can you ...

Of course, you should never ever invalidate people’s experiences, and it’s true that nobody wants or likes forced positivity. Sometimes though, a positive outlook is the only way out unless you want t...

> enabling more sadness for themselves until something really bad happens To me, people invalidating your experience is way worse than discovering that other people share your view on some problem yo...

Not all kids are like that. I went through preschool, primary school, and high-school without any mocking or teasing. At least I wasn't, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't have any problems ...

My daughter stutters (as do I). One of the best things we ever did for her was to arrange for me to speak to her class each year of elementary school. I’d go in, talk about what stuttering is, talk ab...

I’m screenshotting and posting on this on my instagram story. A lot of people don’t understand this and why I hate being compared to other people who stutter and most likely were nothing alike....

Yes if only humans were like robots, just input "do better", "try harder" and then they do better and try harder. People are not like that, they are imperfect. Some people can do the right thing witho...

Coming back to this post and looking back on the sub’s last few posts and seeing what gets downvoted vs upvoted has made me realize that at least for now, most people here (or at least the most vocal ...

As rough as it sounds, if all the replies in this sub were as depressing as some of the posts, people would just drown in misery without an ounce of hope. Diversity of opinion is essential. Me not lik...
