I know they are coming from a place of sentimentality and are trying to come off as relatible so I don't feel singled out or bad about myself. In my head, when they say it, I'm like "yeah whatever" ho...

My native language is Spanish and I live in America. When I talk to other Spanish speakers they want to talk to me in English because they think I don’t know Spanish. I feel your pain brother....

Yes, people will abolutely laugh or mock you for the way you talk. Sometimes it's unintentional, they just can't hold it in. I suppose you haven't experienced mocking yet. Your girl was just giving he...

Putting it out in the open helps so much. As talking on the phone is especially difficult, I've started just announcing that I have a stutter at the start. In turn, this leads to me almost not stutter...

Same. I think when stuttering is out in the open, it's supposed to remove tension in the room. I doubt any stutterer would think you were lying about stuttering. It's not something anyone lies about...

I'm usually the one saying it. But speaking to another stutterer puts me at ease, so normally my speech is quite fluent in those moments. I've never even considered the other person might think I'm ju...

If someone is a stutterer no matter how mild or treated, I can just clock it based on how they tell me they "stutter too". Like, I don't need to actually see or hear them stutter to believe them, the ...

I'd also add that stuttering is not very common. Let's pretend for a moment, i don't know - Let's say that you had another condition that's quite uncommon... i really don't want to pick one, as it m...

i would definitely be weirded out by that. i understand why they did it but still odd, i’m sure they had good intentions. if you feel like you want to say something don’t be embarrassed to! they might...

Work has been a little awkward due to everything you wrote. I just pretend that everyday is a new first day and I can't expect anything out of it.. I did meet a coworker who's good to me, and I always...

Hey what's up bro.. I was coming out of work when read this and I actually ended up having a great day after all the stuttering. I felt like what you wrote was a God sent message filled with positivit...

I’m obsessed with LGBT awareness and treatment because they are just like us or any marginalized group. Mistreated by those who just simply don’t get them. That’s all. It just so happens that the peo...

She knows her friend is probably an ass. I don’t have to tell my closest friends that cause they actually have class....

There is no reason to feel hurt. The girl likes you enough that she is safe guarding you from any potentially bad social experience with her friends. Sometimes controlling your laughter at an odd be...

I would try to show compassion and allow that person to express how they feel. Because I mean, how do we really know how depressed someone is compared to another. Just because they may have a much mil...

How do you respond to people who say they stutter too, when they don't?

How do you respond to people who say they stutter too, when they don't? This happens almost any time I tell someone that I stutter (usually after a block happens during a conversation). They say "oh, ...

I do this! I see this trait as part of my stammer - definitely. So, you’re not alone my friend!...

You can try and have a civil conversation with them. Many people are hateful because of their ignorance, and may even become and ally when they fully understand the situation...

It depends from person to person. Some like to have their thoughts finished, others don’t at all. Probably the best thing you can do is to not acknowledge their stutter at all and talk to them like an...

Yep, being patient and giving the other person time to speak are the main things. Sounds like you did great!...
