Extremely Nervous to talk to my crush due to stutter Hey Y'all, I've had a slight stutter since I was little. I'm currently 21 and it seems to have gotten worse over the years. The most noticeable thing is when somebody asks for my name. I have a hard time getting the words out in a clear pattern. There's usually a 5 second pause before I can even get the words out. I have a situation that I need some advice on. words of encouragement wouldn't hurt either! there's this Barista at a coffee shop I frequent that I REALLY like. I'm wanting to get to know her better. That is obviously going to require quite a bit of conversation. My stutter Gets REALLY bad when I'm nervous. This situation is more nerve racking than my job interview that I did several months back! It's gotten to the point where I avoid doing things that I think will cause a bad stuttering episode. From the interactions I've had with her I can tell you that I KNOW she WON'T make fun of me as she's a very kind/sweet person. My mind makes it seem like such a daunting task when in reality it'll probably be a fantastic experience! Does anyone have any tips on managing my stutter before I talk with her? Currently my anxiety/stutter are Winning and telling me that I should just let it be and forget about her. I DON'T want to conform this time and possibly miss out on a potential Girlfriend!!! Thanks y'all
