Relationships I've had a stutter my whole life, nothing too severe. Usually my speech is pretty good, but I notice it heavily impacts how I interact with women. I'm generally (not always) a little awkward when I meet them, and have a hard time fully being myself. I wouldn't even say I can't make conversation, because I can, but it's noticeable that I'm self-conscience about my speech. I don't have that typical confidence a guy has about himself, always feel like I have a chip on my shoulder. I just feel like I'm not as good as other fluent speaking guys out there, and will never land anyone of quality because I'm so uncomfortable with myself. Anyone have any advice? Feel free to share similar experiences as well.
