First of all, I don't think anyone that stutter like to stutter, but it is what it is. We can't help it, so what is the best we can do? Accept that we stutter and try to work on the insecurities around it. You would probably still be insecure even without the stuttering, but it is easier to blame it on the stuttering. In my case I have noticed that my stuttering reflects my insecurities and social anxiety, so the more anxious I am the more I stutter. So what have I done to "get rid of my stuttering"? Actually that isn't a main goal of mine. I just want to become a more secure person and as I consequence of that the less I stutter as well as I am more accepting of the little I stutter. I went to therapy to deal with my childhood traumas, negative thoughts, and self destrucrive thinking. I started to exercise, eat better, sleep better, and hang out with more friends. I changed the way I think about myself in a more positive way. Since I started making these changes my self esteem, well being, and health has increased. My insecurities, bad habits, stuttering is slowly fading away, but it comes and goes. It is a hard fight that hurts, but it is worth the effort. Nobody wants to live in agony. We want to love ourselves and accept that we can be loved by others, but if we can't do those things we have to work on them. Take baby steps with the dating, as well as with other areas in your life that will help you with your anxiety and insecurities. It is a marathon and not a sprint. Also learn how to take help and ask for help from others. Without help I wouldn't have made the progress I have made these last years. Two years ago I had been really depressed for two years, stuck in an unhealthy relationship, had no money, was heavily overweight, didn't exercise, failed school, hated myself and I had given up on life, and I stuttered like a maniac. Now I am way better and most of these things aren't problems anymore. You can change and become the person you want to be. You just have to be honest with yourself, be willing to change, let it take time, and find your own way. Good luck!
