I know this sucks, it’s not fair, and in a perfect world this would absolutely be something people like us would never have to deal with. When I was younger, situations like this would make me feel so...

Stuttering therapy is helpful but there will always be assholes. I think it’s be good to practice a good come back line like I may stutter but at least I’m not an asshole. (Or jerk or idiot bastard or...

This sounds like a tough situation. But one thing to consider is whether he was doing this to lighten the mood OR to put you down. I don’t think it would be good to take it to HR right off the bat. ...

Glad it wasn't me. I would have got in his face, cussed him out and walked out the building. If you value your job, I'd report it to whoever HR is. If you don't mind looking for another job, tell him ...

Honestly if you care enough to have made this post, you can't really go wrong. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is fine with either as long as you aren't a dick about it. I'd say with a pretty seve...

I'm a dad of 4 kids (1.5 - 11) and my 11 year old has a stutter that I posted about to get some advice on how to best help and support him. I'm sorry you have a father who treats you like that - not ...

Come clear with him and take a stand (respectfully tho), and tell him that you don't like this shit one bit. Peace of mind and support of family is essential to go ahead....

I think you should give a therapist a try and if you have a considerate teacher I think it's time you gave him/her a call about it , talked about this issue privately with him/her, invited him/her hom...

I'm sorry to hear this. Like others said, create a boundary but it doesn't have to be extreme. I'm sure, like so many others w/ toxic parents, that you would love to have a good relationship w/ your d...

That could work, I will talk to my class professor to just look for me when I raise my hand, suorisingly I haven't had any problem like this in high school. Where it was an even bigger class...

With almost no exception, speaking even when you don't want to is the best choice for stutterers. I would highly, highly encourage him to do his speech just like everyone else. But it's also importan...

i had this issue in primary school. i just said to my teacher “i have a stutter so is it okay if you just look for me instead of me saying i’m here” and that solved it...

I’ve had the same situation in university - what I would recommend is let the profs know in advance about your situation. I found a good amount of them just looked for me in class and let me take it a...

if i were you, i would ask them if they want a paper and a pen to write the order instead of saying it. But if they says no then it’s fine, let them do the speaking....

If it takes more than like 5 seconds I would like somebody to help me out. That’s just me though...

It really bothers some people but personally, I'll take all the help I can get. If you see me drowning, throw me a life saver. It's best just to let the person finish though....

As a person who stutters I would appreciate my server picking up on it and just being patient. Don't look bored or fidgety. He has a voice and is using it. By cutting him off or trying to expedite t...

Sounds like stuttering to me! Panic attacks cause muscle tension, and with muscle tension, our diaphragm can freeze, causing stuttering. I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have a...

I personally don’t like the expression. As someone who stutters, I can’t help but think- so what if I (or someone else) did stutter? Does that lessen the validity or value of what was said? Is it less...

Ohhh this is just never ending fun…. The first time it happened to me in a large audience when my uneducated professor asked me if i had forgotten my name i did not say anything, but the second time i...
