When I say “barrier of stutter”, what I mean is this (I’ll give a metaphor to explain it better) — you’re painting something while wearing sunglasses and so, those sunglasses become a barrier between you and the painting. If you remove the sunglasses, then you’ll be able to paint a beautiful painting with actual colours. If you paint with sunglasses on, then you’re only painting with the colours you perceive to be. Conclusion is that you’re using stutter as an excuse for everything you’ve wanted to do. “Because of stutter she’s gonna reject me.” “Because of stutter I can’t do this or that.” “Because of stutter they’ll judge me and won’t like me.” And the dialogues keep piling up, but the excuse remains the same. That excuse is a barrier between you and everything else. In dating, if keep that barrier on of stutter, if you a wall up, if you use stutter as an excuse, then it’ll be hard being yourself and it’ll also be hard for the other person to get to you through that barrier. If you have any more questions, just ask. And you don’t have to explain yourself why you’re in doubt or can’t understand a certain thing. This leads to the next question you had. I will explain it in the comment below.
