Stutter and relationship Hi everyone. Does anyone feel that their stutter is a barrier to find a relationship or to make friends? Im 26 and have had my stutter for most of my life. I’ve found that people (either family, coworkers, ppl) tend to reject if you stutter. People tend see you as less intelligent and desirable. I’ve seen that most people who stutter/ speech impediments are more introverted and socialise less which makes finding a relationship worse. Just want to know if anyone else is in a similar situation and how they are managing it.
