Seeking advice towards mental health regarding dating hi everybody, for background I'm a 27 y/o F and have a moderate sttuter. I've recently been trying to date to find someone and have been using the apps. typically, stuttering has never really bothered me and my confidence has definitely grown in my 20s. However, with dating i'm still super insecure about it and have thoughts such as "does stuttering make me less attractive?" Really im in a bit of a downward spiral because a guy i went on a date tonight with had made a comment about it and how brave it was i was going on dates which i'm overthinking. anyway do yall have any advice on how to deal with such thoughts?
