After building up my confidence and starting to own my stutter, I fell 1000 steps backward again. It took me so long to get the point where I stopped caring what people think and show confidence about my stutter. I finally got on dating apps. But I been ghosted by basically 6 out of 6 girls I talked to after telling them about my stutter. Lost all hope again that I will find someone. Just trying to make peace and be happy with the single life.
