I’ve been looking for someone to date/talk but I feel like I would embarrass someone because of my stutter, so I just remain silent. I even think of scenarios, while I’m with my date, that requires me to talk but I feel like I would stutter up a storm. I would also try to avoid a lot of things that requires me to speak. It got bad to the point where I avoided this really pretty girl from my school. We would usually text a lot but I would mainly avoid calling her. She is really popular as well, so compared to a guy like me I feel pressured. I told her “ Im not the right person for her” and we parted ways.
