Well, it is annoying. However, in his silly uneducated way, he is trying to help. In a way it is nice that he cares, actually. If you choose to see it that way. Maybe, when kids go to school and lear...

Where do you live? It is horrible when people judge and mistreat someone because of a disability. Some people are just jerks. On the bright side, I know many people who stutter and they have fulfi...

Well I was going to suggest to keep communications to text chat like I do in DOTA but I guess you can't do that in a fast paced FPS such as Overwatch. Just stay strong out there. People may think you...

Because people on the internet can often be arseholes. Just mute them and hope they die off quickly or something. Were you playing an online game by any chance?...

It sounds like they're a bunch of punk ass kids getting off at making offensive claims and really hurting you. You don't have to prove your stutter to them or anyone. I don't know the context of the o...

Not too sure either, never been accused of faking it before. Maybe it could be because they haven't met that many people with one so they don't really understand it, and so maybe they thought you were...

Why do so many people think I'm "faking" my stutter online?

Pakistani here. Yeah our cultures are wayyyy more rooted in speech ability. Getting help is also difficult but I was fortunate enough to have a relative who would do it for free for me....

Yeah, I the 'calm down/slow down reaction' is annoying no matter how many times you hear it haha Are you saying that bullying in India isn't as severe as in first world countries? Because that surpri...

Thanks for the response! That was better than I expected. Tbh I've always thought that small town people had a smaller tolerance for stutters or other disabilities due to not being exposed to the dif...
