Relationships and stuttering. A few months ago I saw a poll post on here discussing relationships, and how a lot of ppl who stutter feel like it may be harder for them to develop one.The post made me pretty sad, seeing how a lot of people have these thoughts. I’m 21 years old and lmao I’m basically just getting settled in my first real relationship with an awesome woman. Throughout highschool I didn’t really talk to women like that, and even in my first years of college, my social anxiety would get the best of me and I became a shut in. That shit sucked. I’m glad to say I’m out of that chapter of my life, but that doesn’t mean I still don’t stutter almost all the time. When I was telling my girl about my stutter and my experiences with it, she was really cool and really understanding. I don’t really talk about my stutter and the hardships that come with it, but I really got in depth about it to try to explain to her how my brain works yk. Even when I saw her in person I stuttered hella times in front of her but she didn’t even care man she made me feel super at ease. I feel like once you actually VOICE and EXPLAIN ur story and ur experiences with this thing that we all struggle with in our lives, more people will be understanding and welcoming than you think. There’s somebody for everybody man even us LMAO. A lot of ppl have told me that I’m way too hard on myself about it. I’ve come to learn that they were correct and I’m working on starting to accept this stutter and myself rather than trying to get rid of it (which I believe is impossible… at least in my case) Keep ur heads up. God bless you all
