Two main reasons on why I don't date as a person who stutters and I'd like to hear feedback on this. If you just asked me straight-off my first line of response would be (as a moderate-severe stutterer) the uncertainty of whether I'd even be able to hold a decent conversation where there's some back-and-forth. Sometimes I can pull it off and sometimes I can't. But come to think of it, even if my stutter improved I still probably wouldn't approach. I made it through childhood by not letting other people hurt me. I wasn't bullied, but the emotional pain of seeing others develop and socialize while your speech is too bad to really engage prompted me to sort of cut myself off. I was suicidal as a teenager; I am no longer suicidal and the reason for this is that I don't really compare myself to other people and no longer really connect with them or anyone else for the matter. I don't see a way out of this, or if a way out is even desirable.
