The only person that has NEVER laughed or smirked (during stutter) at me is my wife. She is my best friend. I hid it from her as long as I could (maybe a month early on). During a Drive thru order ...

My bf is definitely supportive. There's times I order on my own and if he sees me struggle, he would say my order for me....

Don’t attribute it to malice if there’s any other explanation. Potentially she thinks it is supportive and helpful. Explain to her so she understands and see if she changes her behaviour. My wife and...

Yeah I understand and I wish I had an answer. But I guess what I meant was with the undeniable support of a SO it makes it easier to get the word out. It helps being open with her about it though....

She may be trying to help in her own way by trying to build up your confidence. I agree that you should talk to her about it. But I also don't think it would be healthy for her to step in and talk for...

Talk to them letting them know how you feel. If they still don't support you after that then you may need to rethink if they are the right person for you....

I know this a old post but you should consider suing your last employer if you haven’t,that’s a form of discrimination.Family wise,I have been through the same situation and it really hurts when your ...

I don't know how to avoid it

I don't know how to avoid it There's this religious activity that I do every weekend just like others (I'm being vague because I don't want to give much details making it identifiable) and there are t...

My best mate also my flat mate has gotten used to my stutter and says he doesn’t even notice it anymore as it seems to be the norm now. If you do want to talk to him about it I’m sure he will listen a...

Could be the lockdown. Yeah it's a struggle when your joke is sometimes late lol. Have family and friends that wait for what you have to say. They are the people that you need in your life. Keep talki...

Yes it's a struggle. Have family and friends that would wait for what you have to say. They are the only people you need in your life....

I do not know but I could not stand it anymore, at first i would tell him that his harassment against my stuttering makes me feel a little sad and if he was harassing again i would leave him, this is ...

I have a similar problem. My stutter is at it's worst when I'm around my Dad. We have a good relationship but there's something about him that makes me stutter. Maybe the pressure to make him proud? T...

My parents don't stutter, but it's very hard for me to talk to them. I love my mom and dad so much, we have wonderful relationships in our family, but... I don't know. My parents have never really tal...

My sister is my “stutter interpreter” (inside joke). Growing up together she’s more in tuned me and can understand me more than most people. She’s kind of the only one I’m ok with finishing sentences ...

I have family who constantly criticize my stutter and that I’m “not doing enough to fix it,” that sort of thing. I feel you, OP. I wish I had advice, I don’t. Just know you aren’t alone. Sending good ...

This may seem easy, but in action, especially around those who we know don't support our path to fluency and/or self-acceptance, is really hard. There's a reason some people go to speech-therapy for y...

Maybe your sister was hurting because there's no amount of hard work that she can do to alleviate you of your stutter?...

I'm really sorry to hear that your sister reacted in such a way. I can understand why you may feel like that one interaction halted any progress you've made. I do agree with what someone said below, t...

Your sister should show you patience. It kind of feels like you’re not getting the support you need. Personally, for me, my stutter is a source of shame for me. I don’t know about you, but I feel like...
