I had a terrible stutter as a kid. I'm 33 now and still have it pretty bad and stutter with every conversation. Despite that, I've been decently able to date throughout my life. I've held lots of customer facing jobs, did college, got into the lab working in my field, got a graduate degree and fast forward a couple years and now have a loving wife. I take care of myself and I do not consider stuttering to have held me back much. My life is comfortable. Lately though I have been crazy anxious which has made the stuttering worse. More of just other stuff messing with my life though.
