Hey, 20F here. I’ve stuttered ever since I like talk and yes, it’s been a big struggle. I feel like now that I’m out of Highschool moved into a different city and environment, it became a little better. But it’s still an everyday challenge, especially now that I’m in college. I’ve had a really hard time making friends in college, I pretty much met nobody. It also most every time I try to take off in a conversation, I get stuck in a word and get weird looks. Then I have to explain that I stutter. And most of the time people are really understanding but they also give me the impression that they’re looking down on me because of my stutter. Dating is another thing that’s been hard. I’ve tried dating apps before (because I literally don’t know where else to meet guys), and it was ok. I didn’t really met many men from dating apps mainly because I’m afraid they’ll think I’m weird. But anywho, life moves on, and I try my best to do what makes me happy.
