I'd recommend not getting defensive and laugh knowingly... but if you must roast say "Before I even roast you, I NEED to figure what you are." In a casual voice....

I wouldn't. I remember once when I was ~10 I met a young adult that stuttered, she was about 20. She noticed my stutter and tried to be a 'friend' about it but I immediately felt embarrassed and shut ...

Luckily in my culture laughing at stuttering is a extreme no-no, so it rarely happens. In regards to other stuff like when I make a fool of myself in other ways, if I get a block, I try to push throug...

Yeah your right about that. But often times I feel alot of people do it maliciously and I don't want to become their punching bag who can't fight back....

Haha laugh man. I've been the guy that gets really defensive and all that does is let people look at you more as a target. Tons of people get shit everyday, especially men. It's not a big deal. ...

How do you deal with getting roasted?

How do you deal with getting roasted? I never roast anyone and usually am the guy trying to make comebacks. Its something I've had to do since I was a kid and even at 21 i have to deal with this bulls...

It sounds like a great way to see the world and live out what many people only dream of. Just to play devil's advocate, I will say that many countries outside of North America and parts of Europe vi...

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. High school only lasts for 4 years, but some people never leave. ...

That person knew you from high school and still decided to make fun of you? It sucks that you had to experience it but to be honest that person probably has some personal issues that he is taking out ...

I don't quite know what to say except these people are few and far between. The only way he wins this is if you dwell on him and worry about what he said. That's what he wants. The best way to give ...

You were certainly not "asking for it." Engaging in a political discussion is asking for it? No. Yeah, I think you're right that stuttering hasn't quite been put into the category of sort of "no lo...

Agreed. Although the conditioning and past shitty experiences are so defining that it's hard not to think the worst. But yeah it wouldve definitely been my fault if I had done something....

Thank you, but it's truly more entertaining/perplexing to me now than hurtful. It reflects pretty poorly on the other person to behave that way. I actually had a much worse one last year when on a pho...

Holy shit, that woman you spoke to on the phone is a monster. It's like, where the hell was she when human beings learned basic human empathy? Jesus. I'm sorry that happened to you. I would feel absol...

Almost punched a bus driver today......It's Stutterering related.

Almost punched a bus driver today......It's Stutterering related. I post on this sub because I almost got physical with a bus driver who was being an absolute dick and not giving me a transfer and the...

I'm thankful work forces me to socialize. There's something of a work shield you get when you have to do things for the job. You're not trying to impress anyone or be attractive, you're just trying to...

If you're stuttering really badly or in a touchy situation like a cop stop, telling them you stutter isn't a bad call. Come to think of it, just on Monday this week I had one of my rare bad interactio...

Every border crossing/police stop in my life there's a unique interaction. I remember one border crosser giving me the hand signal to speed up what I was saying, ha. It feels fairly powerful to inform...

This happened to me in Albany... When I was driving to Nashville to start a new life. Got pulled over, was insanely cooperative. Cop asked if I was drunk, stoned, on uppers, anything he could ask... S...

i take it with caffeine and it's a nice boost, non-habit forming. and yes, like most of us here, stuttering has been a lifelong struggle, and the real trauma came from the nastiness of fellow classma...
