I don't like it, but that scene from The Office when Stanley yells at Michael saying "Did I stutter?" doesn't help. I take the whole debate as how u/kfir97 puts it. It isn't a visible disability so it...

I think it’s very insensitive, but not offensive. Aside from 5 people, I haven’t met any other stutterers. It’s not common enough that it would register in people’s minds, so I guess I cut them a litt...

Does anyone think it’s offensive if a fluent person says “did I stutter?”

Does anyone think it’s offensive if a fluent person says “did I stutter?” So last night I was playing some bar trivia at a local brewery, and there was a loud obnoxious team a couple tables away who’s...

I completely agree with you and it's one of my biggest insecurities as well as being made fun of. At work I worry a lot about how I'm perceived and what others think of my stutter and my abilities bec...

Hell no I wouldn't. Most people calling up IT customer support are frustrated as it is. If the guy on the other end cannot communicate and takes forever to speak, they'd get even more angry. A stutter...

When u start stuttering, you just feel like you shouldn't have opened ur mouth in the first place... Why only with stutterers that you struggle to find a job, literally with any other disability its f...

If you explain that you have a stutter and they deny you employment solely off of that; well I know it sucks but you’ll be better off not working for them....

I had one guy mock me so much I thought he really had a stutter. He picked up on it either when I answered the phone or during our initial conversation. Sometimes on a minor stutter I don’t even reali...

Very rarely, but once in a while. It might be my personality, but I get a kick out of confrontations or when people don't like me, and I like trolling/playing the heel, so if someone comes off as disr...

Thank you so much for sharing. Do you sometimes come across people that give off that vibe of “Listen how you speak, I don’t take you seriously at all”? And if so, how do you deal with it?...

Yeah, my little brothers do that too. I know why they’re saying cuss words, but to non stutterers, I can see it definitely coming off totally different....

Good for you, sir! Thanks for the support / advice. HS is annoying rn, as crushes are making my stutter worse and bullies mocking me and trying to bring me down. They'll never bring me down. ;)...

Yes, I feel you. I don't know what other is for myself, since apparently I was happy as a little kid but when I went to school things changed. This is because I was bullied for stuttering, and trying ...

I was bullied pretty badly back in high school for it. A group of boys, usually 5-8 of them would corner me and make me say difficult words in order to make stutter. It eventually turned to physical b...

How do you feel when people undermine/belittle your intelligence because of your stutter?

How do you feel when people undermine/belittle your intelligence because of your stutter? I’ve noticed that when I meet someone new, they hear my stutter become and sympathetic in a sort of belittling...

It's not victimhood at all. I love this story. I'm a white male but I've always felt that my stutter has created challenges outside the norms of society. I feel that would put me in a minority bucket....

Primary School can be cruel to a stutterer. The real world doesn't care. Right on....

Had a small win yesterday at work!

Had a small win yesterday at work! Might be long, sorry in advance. Tldr at bottom. Been stuttering for about 15 years now. It comes and goes, but it's mostly tied to my anxiety disorder, and can get...

Competing for girls

Competing for girls I've been exposing my stutter to a lot of people lately and to my surprise I've found that a lot of people, even girls I'm into, don't seem to mind, which is awesome! However, one...

I don’t like it but I pretty much accepted it since nobody gave me shit for it oddly enough. Lots of kids at my school have it worse than me so I guess it’s become the norm. It isn’t anything weird an...
