severe covert stutter here - and today I did something amazing i asked a girl to prom WOOOH most of you (maybe all) don't even care but I'm just so happy right now. I asked her after class and even though i stuttered she just smiled and I was able to get the words out. We exchanged numbers and now she is my date for prom next month this is a huge accomplishment for me and i hope i can continue to push past my fears and overcome my stuttering
