Personally one of my biggest regrets was apologizing for stuttering around this girl I was hanging out with a bit and really into. Apologizing for who I am made me feel inferior and probably wasn’t a ...

The best little tip that helps me personally the most.

The best little tip that helps me personally the most. I don’t know if someone has already mentioned this but I came up with it recently. If you apologise and say “I’m sorry” or explain you have a s...

I have an additional theory about those terrible tempers. Angry taking uses a physical force that maybe overrides the diaphragm/vocal chord tension. I also believe that this tension comes directly f...

Everyone is different! I tell my class day 1 I have a stammer to be open about it. Some people come up and say they have one too and appreciate the openness. Surely there are people who havent said an...

I talk about it often. With people on the phone when I’m having a hard day, when I interview, def before I give presentations. I used to try to hide it and then just got to a point where I realized I ...

I don't see it as necessarily apologising personally. I see it as confidently acknowledging the stammer, and doing what's needed to make the conversation continue. It's just works for me, it's far b...

Address it with the person that you're speaking to. In the moment and on the spot. What should you say in the moment? That'll be situationally dependent. But speak your mind. "Is my stutter making y...

They don't but if you bring it up right then and there it'll make them feel super bad . I never stutter when saying "I have a disability jackass"...

Yup. I feel like if you do any of those things that have been suggested it would work, just be sure to let them know you are looking at them and thanking (or whatever) THEM. Most people know the sign ...

My go to line is 'wow making fun of a speech impediment.. real classy' . Works better if it's with people who you know...

I have some advice for you. Its not the best of advice in some peoples eyes.. I stutter too and I had to take matters into my own hands. Who ever picks on a person with a speech impediment is the ...

If physical assault was legal in the US without getting arrested, you should have punched his lights out!! If anyone laughs or makes fun of a stuttering person, they should have the tar kicked out of...

That’s awesome that you responded and good that he apologized. My son pretends he doesn’t hear that kind of stuff and I think it’s GREAT that you instantly defended yourself- unfortunately this stuff ...

Give them a thumbs up or nod. Or you can just sign thank you and they may think you’re deaf but they’ll get your message...

Whenever this happens I say things like "What, you never met someone with brain trauma caused by a drunk driver before??" Or (because I'm old enough) "Yeah they never were able to get all the shrapn...

Who the hell would react by laughing and saying “what the hell?” when they see someone struggling to speak? I agree that they almost definitely didn’t have hurtful intentions. However, that shouldn’t ...

What a piece of shit, honestly. Wether you have a stutter or not, what would compel a person to make this sort of comment? Good on you for standing up for yourself. I'm sorry for what happened, that...

You gave the perfect response. You can’t control other people’s actions, only your own reactions. You clearly were the bigger person there…...

I know that hurt, but you gotta understand that it was propbably not ment to be hurtful in the way you might think. Maybe he thought your tounge curled up of something, which would be harmless to joke...

Jeez man I’m so sorry. That sucks. This is a perfect example of a time when I would usually turn around to the person mocking me and say, “I have a stutter. It’s a disability. Are you laughing at me?...
