This is an excellent response! I want to double down on the suggestion to be open and up front about your stutter as soon as possible in life. Maybe you already are but I was ‘covert’ or attempted to be/even denied having one several times and paid dearly inside when it came time to see that I was so embarrassed about something that I didn’t ask to be born with. And there will be people who will never understand or care to understand what we go through. And in our short insignificant time in this universe, those people who don’t even want to understand more about you and all ‘you’ are, really aren’t worth wasting time on. Sometimes they end up being family members unfortunately. So if it’s just some crushes then feel blessed. Because I have the best wife in the world and she doesn’t even notice when stutter she says and she doesn’t like to see me worry about stuttering at interviews or presentations. That’s the kind of partner we should all want to be with. Whether you stutter, are in a wheel chair, or lost your thick hair to baldness, there are people out there to make a great life with who aren’t going to be consumed or embarrassed by what consumed much of your time and embarrassed you for years before that. Good luck!
