>stopped me from approaching girls that I normally would want to approach cause it's just so awkward Awkwardness is likely there regardless of your specific circumstance. What you need to do is find a way that works for you. Saying your stutter stops you is not quite right. What stops you is your fear of stuttering. You do not need to fear it as such. It does not automatically ruin everything. Stutter will most likely be part of it, if you carry anything out. That's a part of meeting another person, for you. As such, it's part of how you present yourself, and in turn, it's something that becomes part of how you gauge how the other person receives you. In other words, it's part of the process. We exchange peculiarities anyway, might as well let loose and see what happens. Stutter is an aspect, it's not a dead end.
