How to feel confident when stuttering I'm about to go on a date and I keep thinking the date will be more difficult because of the stutter. I say ahh and umm a lot, repeat certain words, take long pauses in my speech, have a different speech pattern to others etc. I'm worried I'll bore them or will come across the wrong way because of my stutter. How do I feel comfortable while dealing with this? When I try to force myself to say sentences the way I want to my voice is more likely to crack or sound weird
